I grew up on heavy metal!
You can't listen to heavy metal!
All my friends liked heavy metal!
All your friends were morons!
Please don't make me cut my hair!
All the cool kidz cut their hair!
But now there's shitty music everywhere!
You're not supposed to care because it's
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
It's hard to tell what music's cool
Whatever sells the biggest rules!
I still find Krokus kinda cool!
Damn your metal roots, boy!
But none of these bands even know how to play!
We'll take it over Yngwie any day!
Okay, good point, but what's it called?!?
It's the latest thing, we'll call it
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
Punk rock! Punk rock!
I know that I should like it but my roots get in the way!!!
Let me play it, I won't tell!
You can't listen to heavy metal!
C'mon give me one more metal yell!
Whoahh-oh!!
I don't wanna be a punk rocker!
A heavy metal punk rocker!
I'm gonna try much harder now to get my metal heard heavy metal now!

Haven't heard much off of this album but this song fuckin kicks ass... no surprise!! Even back then Devin's vocals were amazing. Glad to see he even has some punk-infused tunes in his vast catalogue of whacky awesomeness! 10 years ago

He is a MASSIVE douchebag. A talented douchebag, but a douchebag nonethleess.11 years ago

True. Even though they still label themselves as a "punk rock band", I see Green Day as a stadium rock act.11 years ago

Does this song qualify as a hit? Think about it. I think it is blatantly obvious why "American Idiot" has more views and fans. The song is more suited to wider audience, after all.11 years ago

These are almost the same chords as American Idiot by Green Day..... Devin Townsend: 1996. Green Day: 2004... Devin: just OVER 9000!! views Green Day = 7 million views .... Yes... this is a sad, SAD world12 years ago

He's not making fun of Punk here, he's making fun of shitty "punk" bands that are nothing but poseurs cashing in on the scene, which is 90% of the "Punk" bands out there today.12 years ago

First rule of parody: to make a good parody, you must be able to make well the object of the parody. Devin can do it :D13 years ago
