Anthem by Toxic Narcotic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This goes out to all my friends
From way back in the day
Punk before punk was cool
And never really changed
Now the fashion is a trend
But nothing stays the same
It won't be long until it's gone
The anthem goes this way
[Chorus]
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Raise our beers and toast a cheer to the DIY
To all my friends and fans
Who've helped us to get by
After all these years, we're still here
And you're the reasons why
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Thirteen years of hardcore punk and staying DIY
The band is always broke
But still, we fucking try
Integrity and respect are the reasons why!
[Verse 2]
Now the music's mainstream
And we know the bands to blame
Toning down the lyrics
So that they can sell their name
I refuse to do this
And we will never fucking change
Play as brutal as we want
We'll never go away!
[Chorus]
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Raise our beers and toast a cheer to the DIY
To all my friends and fans
Who've helped us to get by
After all these years, we're still here
And you're the reasons why
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Thirteen years of hardcore punk and staying DIY
The band is always broke
But still, we fucking try
Integrity and respect are the reasons why!
[Chorus]
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Raise our beers and toast a cheer to the DIY
To all my friends and fans
Who've helped us to get by
After all these years, we're still here
And you're the reasons why
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Thirteen years of hardcore punk and staying DIY
The band is always broke
But still, we fucking try
Integrity and respect are the reasons why!
This goes out to all my friends
From way back in the day
Punk before punk was cool
And never really changed
Now the fashion is a trend
But nothing stays the same
It won't be long until it's gone
The anthem goes this way
[Chorus]
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Raise our beers and toast a cheer to the DIY
To all my friends and fans
Who've helped us to get by
After all these years, we're still here
And you're the reasons why
Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Thirteen years of hardcore punk and staying DIY
The band is always broke
But still, we fucking try
Integrity and respect are the reasons why!
[Verse 2]
Now the music's mainstream
And we know the bands to blame

Raise our beers and toast a cheer to the DIY

Up the punks till all the beers run dry
Thirteen years of hardcore punk and staying DIY
The band is always broke
But still, we fucking try
Integrity and respect are the reasons why!
