I love this song!
Its about how the people don't like people who stand out so they try to control them. It's also a song about how the "punk" lifestyle has changed: "The kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and coke." People who are sick of these bands singing songs about their girlfriends/boyfriends and love: "Stop singing songs of girls and love!" But that's just my opinion of the song...

dear lord this song kicks ass. Though whats it about? well ok, in lamens turns, kids today are p-u-s-s-y-s pussys (and yet I'm 15 how does that work??) in the, ohh lets say 80s, kids were on the streets, doing what they wanted, doing drugs at times (hence the phrase:the kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and coke) and living a skater life full of loud punk rock, active lifestyles, and parents only at half the care that they are now. 20 years later, they all grew up and went from propain to rogain. Theyve gone from "I punched someone and walked off felling fine" to "I saw a victoria seccret commercial, I have to go confess to Father molest-little-kids." (title! look at the songs title!) the same music they listened to then, now has protection laws and therefore we end up with these bullshit boy bands all talking about the SAME GADDAM GIRL who broke up with them and now their hearts into pieces........ WHAT THE FLYING [censored for small minds everywhere]!!!


so this is the basic summary of the song, its the last verse:

our hatred of athority
our fights against complacency
stop singing songs of drunken love
you killed the owl freed the dove
confrontation and politics
replaced with harmony and stix
when did punk rock become so tame
these fucking bands all sound the same
we want our fights we want our thugs
we want our birds we want our drugs
were is the fun in ampathy
this fucking records rated G

when did punk rock become so safe.............

I think the songs about how Punk has become this whole commercialized idea of love and relationships. Its now this tame music with no sex or drugs or violence that the original music and lifestyle was all about, and they just slap the word "Punk" on it to sell it to american teenagers who think they're some kind of rebel or hard core punk. But the truth is that everything these kids listen to and like is so much against what punk really is. Church is just mediphore theyre using to describe the morality of the music. Skate obviously represents the Punk lifestyle and music. We must seperate church and skate.
