Don't pretend to be someone you're not
But still, fit in with crowd
Be good and kind and sensible
Don't do that, you're not allowed
Listen well to instruction
Do as your elders say
Keep your room clean and tidy
Don't demand your own way
Make sure you go to school
And yes, that means on time
Get all your homework done
Don't even start to whine
Your father and I work like mad
To keep you clothed and fed
You wouldn't survive the teenage years
Your father and I led
We were polite and kind
And we helped at home
We walked seven miles to school
And we never dared to moan
But today's a different day and age
I guess its time I saw
That all teenagers do this once in a while
I guess it's only the law
No, I'm not being sarcastic,
I lived in the age of Punk
I broke every law in the rulebook
And sprayed all the walls with red gunk
Yes, I suppose I was an Anarchist
Yes, I had the hair style
But do you know something Jonny?
It really has been a while
Its time I finally showed you
What real anarchy is all about
So grab the spraycan and superglue
Its time we were getting out
On don't look so surprised, my dear
Why do you look so shocked?
In the year of '79
I really rocked!
Why are you being a chicken?
Isn't this what you do?
Spray the walls for Anarchy
And fix the locks with glue
Is Mummy dear an embarrassment
In front of all your friends
You call that a Mohican?
You should have seen the trends
Oh fine, I'll stop and go inside
But just keep this in your head
In 30 years, you'll be like me
And you'll forget this life you led.
