Punk Ideologies from Generation 404 by The Bakers

First track off our debut album Generation 404. This song is about the ethics of punk rock and what it really means to be a punk. It describes how punk is more than just a genre of music. Punk is a thought process, punk is a lifestyle. Punk is about self expression and individuality. Having spiky hair and studs doesn't make you a punk, its about whats in your head. This song describes my views on punk rock and what it means to me. Everyone is created equal, no one is special or of any greater importance than anyone else. You need to believe in yourself and be proud of who you are, because if you try to impress others then your not being yourself and then your not being real. Follow your dreams and do whatever you want and live with no regrets. I'm not saying I'm right or you should live your life this way, these are just my views on what I think punk rock is and what it means to be a punk

Lyrics

Never said to take my word just share a few insights
Some guidance on how you and everyone should live their life
I once was confused but I've figured it out
I'm at peace with myself I've erased all my doubts

You gotta look deep down into yourself
You gotta have pride and be proud of who you are
Any and everything is possible
Don't ever give up your already a star
Everyone's equal treat them all the same
No one is special there's no thing as fame
Don't try to fit in don't be the third wheel
If you try to act cool your not being real

Never dress to impress you can dye your hair
D.I.Y express yourself wear what you wanna wear
Combat boots and studs they don't make you a punk
It's what's in your head so you can't be debunked

You gotta stand up for all your beliefs
Every minute everyday at all costs
Speak your mind freely don't follow the trends
Maybe then you wouldn't be so damn lost
Your the dealer make the rules in life's game
Move along don't hesitate have no shame
Don't ever let anyone kick you down
The worlds one giant parade of the clowns

Punks more than a genre it's a lifestyle
It's what I've found to make my life worthwhile
Take a good look in your heart what's deep inside of you
Do whatever you want anything and everything that you wanna do

Cause that's what it means to be punk
