Lyrics
When I came outta my momma They cut my umbilical cord I thought hey man what are you doing And I let out a mighty roar I got my first piercing When they stabbed me with a pin Pumped me full of something And hit me in the shin Ever since that moment I've just been full of scorn I've been a punk rock baby Since the day that I was born I got my first mohawk At the age of one Stole my old man's razor And then the job was done I got a leather jacket At the age of two Then I put spikes all over it With some super glue I started scratching at my pants Until they were all torn I've been a punk rock baby Since the day that I was born I picked up my first electric guitar At the age of three Turned the volume up Just as high as it could be I yelled into the mike About all the things I felt About this nasty world And the cards we'd all been dealt About the toxic sludge That made me angry and forlorn I've been a punk rock baby Since the day that I was born I dropped out of nursery school At the age of four I said hey this place is boring I am going out the door I headed straight downtown Sat down in the park Met some other punks Stayed out til way past dark Partied til the dawn Came back home in the morn I've been a punk rock baby Since the day that I was born I moved into a squat At the age of five Behind the barricades I waited For the cops to arrive I climbed onto the roof and said Here's where I'm gonna stay And I'm gonna be a rebel Until I'm old and gray Between the toes of your establishment I'll always be a thorn I've been a punk rock baby Since the day that I was born
