When Iggy Pop was young and pretty
And the Dolls ruled New York City
Out on the West Coast there was a band
Venus and the Razorblades, we took our stand

Then the gangs moved in
And burned down Hollywood
No more palaces of sin
This is Punk-A-Rama

Now we got the Hives and Vines
Feel the Strokes and the White Stripes
Ride the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Kings of Leon doin' Courtney Love

Then the money moved in
Like we knew it would
They turned our gold into tin
This is Punk-A-Rama

Hey hey hey - we're still gettin' down for life
Hey hey hey - we're still goin' round all night

Now everything's weak, but we don't care
As long as the noise is in the air
We built our dreams outta metal and steel
We'll never leave, 'cause we keep it real

So don'tcha ever move out
You got to stay in your garage
'Cause there was never any doubt
It was never a mirage
This is Punk-A-Rama
