You’re more punk ‘cause you act so tough

And you’re more punk ‘cause your home life’s rough

If I move to Richmond, can I gain all that stuff?

I’ll preach about community with a few close friends

And make sure that’s where the conversation ends

Shun all the kids that don’t follow the right trends

Chorus:

There’s a punk rock checklist (x3)

And it’s not for me (x2)

There’s a punk rock checklist (x3)

And it’s not for me, and it’s not for me.. or you

Talk to the right people and ignore all the rest

Make sure there are enough metal studs on my vest

Few more rules and I’ll pass the punk rock test

Make sure to hate crusties but still listen to Crass

If a guy looks at you funny be sure to kick his ass

After you drink your 40 be sure to smash the glass

Chorus (x2)
