Nofx - The Separation Of Church & Skate lyrics

rate me

Lost in a sea of combat boots, flush the bouncers with wasted youth<br>When did punk rock become so safe, when did the scene become a joke<br>The kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and coke<br>Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed, in fact let's keep noise levels down<br><br>Must separate the church and skate<br><br>When don't we put pad on the kids,helmets,head gear and mouth pieces<br>They we could pad the floor and walls,put cameras inside bathroom stalls<br>We make sure only nice bands play,and we could sing my country 'tis of thee sweet land of liberty<br><br>When did punk rock become so safe<br>I know it wasnt duane or fletcher, who put up the barricades<br>Like a skate in the heart, somehow we got driven apart<br><br>I want conflict I want dissent, I want the scene to represent<br>Our hatred of authority, our fight against complacency<br>Stop singing songs about girls and love, you killed the owl you freed the dove<br>Confrontation and politics replaced with harmonies and shticks<br>When did punk rock become so tame, these fucking bands all sound the same<br>We want our fights we want our thugs, we want our burns we want our drungs<br>Where is the violent apathy, these fucking records are rated g
