This Is The Way Of Punk
A, D, E
That’s your three chords
Now go form a band
Guitar in hand and
Launch yourself at an
Unsuspecting public
This is the way of punk
As you write, remember
Your chords are words
Keep them simple
Direct
Hit them hard
Make your point
Make your exit
This is the way of punk
So much to be angry at
Yet you can fight
And be a voice for
The marginalised
Do not go quietly
Do not be silent
This is the way of punk
Thoughts
I don’t know what I’m doing when I write. I clear my mind and see what arrives. I’ve always been the kind of person who learns by doing. I find I enjoy it as a result. I hope you do too.
