well done.

great fun song. good point especially nowadawys with those little posh kids with wot they think are punky hairdo's listening to effin heavy metal and posh kid indie shit.

tho too, the so called "real" punk scene now is just drunken speed freaks and now an growing number of racists, into ego ego ego, and a very narrow range of bands to ;listen to.
