My first attempt at writing punk rock lyrics...

[ImAWaffle]

For some reason, when I woke up this morning, the first words that came to my mind were "you're not a prize". And, well...

You’re not...

Pour hot oatmeal on my eyes
You’re not a prize
If they offered you on radio, the station would demise
This is worse than “Family Ties”
You’re not a prize
So get out of my cereal box and spare me all your lies

I had lunch at McDonald’s and just imagine my shame
When I peeled off the sticker and I read it was your name
I went up to the counter and I said “Now this is lame,
I’d rather have a hamburger and fries!”

YOU’RE NOT A PRIZE!

Let’s get real, please
You’re not a cheese
You didn’t come out of a cow whose name was Eloise
You make my libido freeze
You’re not a cheese
Your caseous behavior is a symptom of disease

You’ll get nowhere in life if you keep up this denial
You spend all of your evenings sitting in the dairy aisle
Getting “Kraft” tattooed on your forehead just isn’t worth your while
Besides, this stuff went out with Sixties

YOU’RE NOT A CHEESE!

You’re acting like a fool
You’re not an Edwardian Mahogany “X” Frame Stool
You just…

[Spoken]
Ah, forget it, yeah you are! There, happy now?

[Baconsticks]

Da [moderated for profanity]?

First of all, genres are not determined by the lyrics, it's determined by the style and sound of the melody. Secondly, even if you were trying to write punk lyrics, it would most likely have more along the lines of some kind of social statement, rather than just throwing together random lines of rhyming words. And lastly, the lyrics suck, regardless of what you were going for.

Stupidity?

Punk is awful.

I knew immediately when I clicked on this topic that you would reply and been all "rawr I am the music monster."

Also Rabid Fox Rocks.

I have a legacy to uphold. SISTER.

I think I've had some kind of thermal stroke in the middle of the night. The right side of my body is ridiculously cold. Nipple at full mast and fingers like a leper's.

If I'm dying, I want this song played when the revelers arrive to dance upon my cooling carcass.

[nickspoon]

rabid_fox, that was seriously awesome. You rock.

(The lyrics are awful, I'm sorry Mr. Waffle.)

[Tom Flapwell]

Waffle, I think it's pretty amusing.

[ImAWaffle]

I suppose I should explain.

I was trying to ape "Worm Quartet", a noted synth-punk Dementia artist rather than anyone serious.

SO THAT EXPLAINS IT!

If you want a punk band to be big, switch one guitar for an acoustic and sing in an Irish accent.

Worked for Flogging Molly, Against Me, and Captain Tractor.

What about Stiff Little Fingers?

[Rooster]

When did Stiff Little Fingers play acoustic on their early stuff?
