Less Than Expected - Is This Punk? (Demo) Lyrics

I woke up this morning, put my converse on
Pulled my adolescents shirt on and then I walked my dog
Some kids were laughing, pointing right towards me
I asked them what was up, and they explained you see

My shirt wasn't punk rock, they claimed I wasn't punk
My shoes and socks AND hair and pants weren't punk enough
This declaration to me, didn't make any sense
Does this mean I should question my existence?

Ohhhh, I don't know
Ohhhh, This can't be so?
Ohhhh, Is This Punk Rock?
Please tell me, What is punk rock supposed to be?

I read on the internet, that punk rock was dead
I swear on everything, these kids are now in my head
I bought the new GBH and Pennywise LP's
What's going on, can someone explain this to me?

Is this punk rock? That question makes no sense
Punk is freedom from answering stupid shit like this
I read that I had aged out, that I shouldn't even try
I'm not supposed to feel this old, When I'm only 35

Ohhhh, I don't know
Ohhhh, This can't be so?
Ohhhh, Is This Punk Rock?
Please tell me, What is punk rock supposed to be?

These rules are an oxymoron, Was I just deceived?
I don't know where I stand, What does all this mean?
Are the Germs punk rock? What about Minor Threat?
Do my punk rock friends know we're posers instead?

My generation were left behind, these kids weren't at all
They know what is punk, it's on their facebook wall
I'm not a real punk, They're smarter than me they said (told me so)
They went to college and are drowning in student debt (student loans)
