Here's the lyrics (Bonus MAN!!!)

Hold it!!!
We're a group for adults now
We're not a punk band... we're a new wave band

I'm tired of self respect
I can't afford a car
I wanna be a prefab superstar

I wanna be a tool
Don't need no soul
Wanna make big money
Playing rock and roll

I'll make my music boring
I'll play my music slow
I ain't no artist, I'm a business man
No ideas of my own

I won't offend
Or rock the boat
Just sex and drugs
And rock and roll

Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!

You'll pay ten bucks to see me
On a fifteen foot high stage
Fatass bouncers kick the shit
Out of kids who try to dance

If my friends say
I've lost my guts
I'll laugh and say
That's rock and roll

But there's just one problem

Is my cock big enough
Is my brain small enough
For you to make me a star

Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

And when I'm rich
And meet Bob Hope
We'll shoot some golf
And shoot some dope

Is my cock big enough?
Is my brain small enough?
For you to make me a star

Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

Guitar!!!!

Is my cock big enough?
Is my brain small enough?
For you to make me a star

Give me a toot, I'll sell you my soul
Pull my strings and I'll go far

Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!
Drool, drool, drool, drool, drool, drool
My Payola!

remember everyone: PUNK IS ABOUT BEING YOURSELF AND NOT GIVING A FUCK ABOUT WHAT ANYONE SES OR THINKS ABOUT YOU

[SamSill10]

is there a fucking video of them doing this? i would kill to watch it.

[KeironP1]

Instead of arguing over what's punk, what not punk, who's punk, who's more punk...who's not punk......just appreciate a damn fine song from a wickedly, awesome damn fine band. Such awesome lyrics that are still so appropriate for today. But....... from what I've always known...... even the DKs had arguments over money towards the end. So it just shows that we all have a bit of hypocrisy in us at times. Just shut up and dance everybody!!

Yep Adblock plus for firefox blocks most adverts including youtube ones, so you can enjoy punk irony-free at your leisure.

Also... Great song!

@sarahisms if you get firefox and download the adblockerplus plugin you can say fuck you to advertisements and corporations and partially endure a comparethemarket advertisement

[sarahisms]

the irony of not being able to play this without having to partially endure a comparethemarket advertisement first.
