lyrics

Get up in the morning before the sun.
Gotta family to feed and work to be done.
Soul-searching’s over. I know I lost it.
Punk’s not dead, it’s just completely exhausted

Back and feet are always hurtin’
And the only thing I know for certain
Is feel like I’ve been accosted
Punk’s not dead, it’s just completely exhausted

[chorus]
Punk’s not dead, it's just completely exhausted.
Mohawk’s gray and our middles softened
Planned to be the angry prophets
No one’s sure just when we lost it.

We’d only just begun
Wonder where the time has gone
We’d only just begun
Wonder where the time has gone

After all this time I still endeavor
To make them believe that I’m being clever
But my attitude is completely caustic
Punk’s not dead, it’s just completely exhausted

Step back up to the mic after 20 years
Playing small clubs for the cost of beers
Playing after 10 pm just gets me frosted
Punk’s not dead, it's just completely exhausted

We’d only just begun
Wonder where the time has gone
We’d only just begun
Wonder where the time has gone

[chorus] X 2
Punk’s not dead, it's just completely exhausted.
Mohawk’s gray and our middles softened
Planned to be the angry prophets
No one’s sure just when we lost it.
