Punk Goes Acoustic - Strike Anywhere - Chalk Line

We see the billboard girl
The one devoted to ritual
Standing in the rain
Holding all of her pain inside

I know you're hurting now
But I can't point my finger at the
Words I should or shouldn't say
Anything to take the pain away

Walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

We see the lines in chalk
The warning sign for where we walk
In the shadows of the cities maze
To try and fight for better days

Walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

Yeah we're ungrateful
Yeah we're ungrateful for
Holy books, religious men
Values of beauty, original sin
And all this time we unwind it
I won't give up, I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid

To walk alone on the streets tonight and fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs
The symbols of man unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time walk out
Out of the shadows

If we take
Our strength
To market
To trade
For their ugly beauty

Watch us
Grow up to war

This song is beautiful! why do we have to label and ruin good music? if you like it listen to it, if not go away!

@NeisanKitsune are you trying to tell me that illrepute, pennywise,mxpx, the offspring, the living end, tiger army, bad religion and jawbreaker are pop punk? and turn on any alternative punk station and see how quickly one of the bands you mention come up. just because his "pop punk" became most famous doesnt mean thats all he produced. and all his music sounds just as produced as this song currently playing. so know more about him before you right him off

[kreuztraeger]

@tkkva - Should it matter if it's "punk" or not, if the lyrics are thoughtful and they put their energy into it?

Punk goes acoustic 1 & 2 ..were great. They went in the wrong direction with the other Punk goes series.

[xMikeTheRipper]

@Zombi3Biscuit I guess, but in this case I think it sounds fantastic.

[DaveTheFuckingBrave]

@tkkva cause the bands that play them are punk, not the song

[tkkva]

what I don't get about the whole "Punk Goes" series is that few of the songs are even remotely punk

[RobertDonny]

@Zombi3Biscuit listen to Beng Beng Cocktail

[TheWanderingPrimate]

@Zombi3Biscuit - Yea, I get that. The normal version has so much energy. But, you can always just play it yourself, just faster!  That's what I'm doing. Took about three seconds to learn.

i like acoustic punk, i just dont like how they think they have to slow it down
