Wanna make a fast buck on rock'n'roll Club owners and promoters With their eyes on the dough Open their doors to bands that wanna play They charge an absurd price at the door Gettin richer while bands stay poor We won't kiss a**, we'll do it our way We're punks, not idiots And we don't pay to play, no! Pay to play - sick of being treated like sh** We'll play benefits and we'll play for friends
But no a**hole is making money off my band We won't kiss a**, we'll do it our way We're punks, not idiots And we don't pay to play, no! Think you're pretty clever Think you're so slick But we'll boycott your club Cause we're getting sick That your club's surviving Thanks to the bands and the people That you're treating like sh**
