Punk Rock City
Frank Black · Other Songs - Frank Black
They had a young 'un and they grew him in a tank
They got to get to work and they put him on a train
And you know they got together
And they're doing it again
Oh Baby!

(Going up to) Punk Rock City
(Going up to) Punk Rock City
And when this shit got started, it was never gonna stop
Designer genes for all the punks to live on top
Got to get to work
Got to get them on a train
If you're never gonna die
Then you're never gonna come back here again

We're brother sister and we are doing fine
Spend our whole life working in the mine
We get the train and we get ourselves to work
Then we have a little party
Then we have a little party, baby!
