love song to punk rock (or: in which i reference a bunch of punk CDs that no one knows about)

i found these stacks and stacks of CDs
with these angry dudes yelling obscenities
wearing plaid pants and ripped shirts and messenger hats
and i wanted to be angry just like that
but i always heard the lyrics wrong
and all the songs were only two minutes long
but it's okay, i know what they're saying now
about getting bloodied up and being clamped down

and i learned how to rhyme like a preadolescent
to stick with the booze, avoid antidepressants
i learned about the american jesus
and exactly where the path of hate leads us
i learned how to dance and how not to sing
and how to clean and ruin everything
and i learned i was born 20 years too late
but my heart is strong and my edge is straight.
