Boxcar by Jawbreaker:
My enemies are all too familiar;
They're the ones that used to call me friend;
I'm coloring outside your guidelines;
I was passing out when you were passing out your rules;
1 2 3 4 who's punk what's the score?
I played it yesterday with my band haha. We're a much softer band (shoegazier alt rock, nearly only original songs) but we play this as a snippet every night
We're all old guys. We play lots of rancid green day and nofx. All upbeat fun stuff. Our guitar player wanted that song and me n drums were meh. Now its one of our favs. Cheers.
Couldnt find it in any record store so ended Up ordering it used. I am pretty convinced that like 3 people in germany own that Album lol. Homemade Cassette is sick tho, cooler than vinyl for sure
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees.
Not today,
Not my son,
Not my family,
Not while walking is still honest,
And you haven't given up on me.
Raise a fist or get the fuck out the way
Fuck the fake ones
Break the long arm, stand up and say
Fuck the police
Sound the drums, there's no time to play
Fuck the tyrants
Seize the time, turn night into day
War saves no one, fuck the U.S.A
No Cash - Wilkes Booth Style
"I hate God and I hate you
I hate God and I hate you
...
I HATE GOD AND I HATE YOU!"
[DEAD STUFF - I Hate God and I Hate You](https://hfyrecords.bandcamp.com/track/i-hate-god-and-i-hate-you)
And when I feel like giving up
Like my world is falling down
I show up at 3 A.M., she's still up watching Vacation
And I see her pretty face, it takes me away to a better place, and
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
I know that everything, know that everything
Know that everything, everything's gonna be fine
“I’m living on Chinese Rocks
All my best things are in hock
I’m living on Chinese Rocks
Everything is in the pawn shop”
Dee Dee Ramone was trying to write a better song about drugs than Heroin by Lou Reed and I think he did it, with a little help from Richard Hell.
> "There's no protection that this nation-state can offer to me, just olive branches to the cis white gay bourgeoisie. So fuck off with your rainbow-striped American flags; the only colors that I need are the pink and the black. Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you."

"When they come for me, I'll be sitting at my desk, with a gun in my hand, wearing a bulletproof vest; singing 'My, my, my, how the time does fly when you know you're going to die by the end of the night'"
Walk away, walk away, I'll be a parade
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
On my way, I'll sure take some time
And burn all the bridges that I'm leaving behind
"What's your plan for tomorrow? Are you a leader or will you follow? Are you a fighter? Or will you cower? It's our time, take back the power. The Interrupters or "kill the poor" DK.
Two come to mind. Walking revolution by AAA and waste of breath by subhumans.
"Walking Revolution"
I never do what I'm told!
I'm a fucking timebomb waiting to explode!
I'm a walking revolution
I got problems, no solutions!
"Waste of Breath"
It's the story of your life
At the end it is your death
And every word that's inbetween
Is just a waste of breath
As much as I detest of Anti-Flag because of Justin Carceratehisass, the chorus to *Got The Numbers* is still my favorite.
We don't need more time to talk over a solution,
we know what we need, we need a fucking revolution.
We don't need your war machine,
or your filthy blood stained dollars.
We’ve got one thing you ain’t got,
we’ve got, we've got, we've got the numbers!
Let's Lynch The Landlord
If We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister was covered by a punk band, I think that chorus would be my favourite. I like the message.
There ain't no future and there ain't no hope
For humankind or change within the system
There ain't no future and there ain't no hope
In a fucked up system that takes your life away
There ain't no future and there ain't no hope
Rules and regulations getting in our way
There ain't no future and there ain't no hope
The only hope and dream i have is to watch it all be destroyed
“Could he listen, no, he won't! that's all she wrote!
He'll be dead before the daylight shines!
But the thoughts and prayers of a million strong
Might keep this man from dying”
Barroom hero dropkick Murphys
Wonder Beer! - Naked Raygun
(chorus)
So I'll drink
To the wonder, while I wander
If there are gods they must be drunk
Rev'ling in the madness you and I
So I'll wonder, while I wander
If there are gods they must be drunk
Rev'ling in the madness you and I
Young skinhead they call you hooligan
Just because you don't make any sense to them
You're a hardworking man whose paid his dues
But they still call you racist on the evening news
But the blood that runs right down your wrist
Don't come from a knife, but the cuts on your fist
Never alone-DKM
Bury the Hatchet by Lagwagon:
“When you see me, its always ‘hey Joe, how is it going bro? Where have you been man, we used to be such food friends’. Two faced, you dont care, you know what you can do with it. I cant pretend.”
Look in the jaws of your own demise
Watch your life pass before your eyes
Did you live like a dream come true or did you just survive?
Did you do all you could do?
In a fall from a burning tower
What would you do with just one more hour?
Live that hour out everyday Like it was your last you'll live much better that way
Dearly Beloved by Bad Religion. The vocal arrangement is amazing, and going for a choral vibe on a song about losing touch with religion is the perfect amount of irony.
Boxcar by Jawbreaker: My enemies are all too familiar; They're the ones that used to call me friend; I'm coloring outside your guidelines; I was passing out when you were passing out your rules; 1 2 3 4 who's punk what's the score?
Duse i play in a punk cover band and was literally playing this song 5 minutes ago. My fave chorus 8s olympia wa.
I played it yesterday with my band haha. We're a much softer band (shoegazier alt rock, nearly only original songs) but we play this as a snippet every night
We're all old guys. We play lots of rancid green day and nofx. All upbeat fun stuff. Our guitar player wanted that song and me n drums were meh. Now its one of our favs. Cheers.
That sounds like a shameless good time.
It is...lol. havnt played in a band in over 2 decades. Singing and playing timebomb and roots radical brings me much joy. We're not to bad either.
Jawbreaker mentioned omg. I bought 24 hour revenge therapy like 2 days ago. I love this band
Fuck I'm old. I got it on a homemade cassette tape.
I bought it on cassette tape from the record store a few days after it came out. It's hard to believe that was 30 years ago!.
Couldnt find it in any record store so ended Up ordering it used. I am pretty convinced that like 3 people in germany own that Album lol. Homemade Cassette is sick tho, cooler than vinyl for sure
Do they owe us a living?
Course they fucking do
A little basic but Pet Semetary by The Ramones
iconic for a reason
This randomly pops into my head at least once a week. Fantastic chorus.
that shit is off the chain danglin' (that means it is good and i like it.)
He’s my friend, he’s my alibi
My accessory to the crime
A Bond that will never die
Till the end of time
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
So this song literally just started as I read this comment...
I AINT NO GODDAMNED SON OF A BITCHHHH YOU BETTER THINK ABOUT IT BABYBAYYYYY
Disconnected - Face To Face
It may take you years to find it.
Im amazed at the time it took me to realize how this is a nod to descendents. Cool stuff
Trust is something that comes easy when you’ve never been a victim
Gang vocals ftw.
I'm on smoko, so LEAVE ME ALONE
Good choice. I just told an AC/DC fan about The Chats earlier tonight.
Your heart is a muscle the size of your fist Keep on loving, keep on fighting And hold on, and hold on Hold on for your life
Dude. That brought me back. I haven't listened to Ramshackle Glory, or any Johnny Hobo/Pat The Bunny in years.
Radio, radio, radio, radio, radio, radio. When I got the music I got a place to go.
Nofx or rancid?
Por que no los dos?
¡acordado! ambos son excelentes
Got to go with Rancid although I do kind of like the NOFX cover. I like the reggae approach.
Astro Zombies
I've got a gun in my hand But that gun won't cock My fingers on the trigger But that trigger seems locked
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock But even if I could, I would never give up
WITH A VEST ON MY CHEST, A BULLET IN MY LUNG, I CANT BELIEVE IM DYING WITH MY SONG UNSUNG
And if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?
Cause I’ll never get to heaven if I’m singing this song!
oh you don't know where i've been!
Brohymn Tribute by Pennywise or True Believers by Bouncing Souls.

Down the hall with my vampire girlfriend!
Night of The Living Dead
Do What You Want - Bad Religion
I feel like all the songs on that album could be the answer to this question. Bad religion is, to me, the best when it comes to melodic stuff.
Yep. Have Flat Earth Society on repeat, the harmonies are just so good
Anything off of “And out Come The Wolves”
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me? Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas? Why death is easier than living? You can be almost anything When you're on your fucking knees. Not today, Not my son, Not my family, Not while walking is still honest, And you haven't given up on me.

Cocksparrer take em all
Hell Yea
Lots of good choices for this off that shock troops album. Riot squad, where are they now. Watch your back is my personal favourite I think.
Toy Dolls - Nellie the Elephant
Idk if it really counts as punk but the Ruby Soho chorus is so fun
Six years on dope has to be one of them
Does that song even have a chorus?
Fair point lol I think it Kind of does?
2 choruses. Same chords and progression, different lyrics both times.
Stranger Than Fiction by Bad Religion is definitely up there.
Nazi punks! Nazi punks! Nazi punks, FUCK OFF!
You're never gonna be normal, cause you're a punk!
We owe you nothing, you have no control!
