She walks into the bar and everyone turns and stares
All the guys there are thinking they wish that she was theirs
But this is not ‘52, she cannot be owned
Not there for the market, she’s just there for the show
Goes to the bar and buys herself another drink
Plaid skirt, black boots, Exploited on her shirt
Stands in front of the band, waiting on the show to start
Sing along with every Oi and every Hey in every song
She’s the one dancing in the pit
Throw beer on the hardcore band and call them shit
She’s going to kick that big guy’s ass
If you’re going to buy her a beer, it had better be a Pabst
I don’t want a June Cleaver type of woman
I don’t want to live in a 1950’s world
I don’t want a world full of Mary Kay women
I want a work full of Punk Rock Girls
Tattoos & piercings have never made the punk rock scene
But they look good on her, on her arms and on her face
She’s no June Cleaver, she’s always in controls
As she spits on the floor and says “I’m going to puke”
If she gets too drunk there’s going to be a fight
She’s always starting shit with the big skinhead guy
Throws down her cigarette and kicks his tough guy ass
Stumbles home alone to sleep it off and start again
