| Song | I Was a Punk Before You Were a Punk |
| Artist | The Tubes |
| Album | What Do You Want from Live |
| 作词 : Evans, Spooner, Waybill | |
| It was a little city by the Bay | |
| We drove our truck a long way there to play | |
| We had a lot of things to think about | |
| It didn't take too long to figure out | |
| We never dreamed that it all would come true | |
| Never thought that we'd have to tell you | |
| But if you ain't found out we're definitely cool | |
| We wrote a song about some local boys | |
| Who had Ferrari's as their favorite toys | |
| And their music gave their lives some hope | |
| And their music was White Punks On Dope | |
| We wish we could be just like them | |
| But they didn't want to be friends | |
| 'Cause their lifestyle got scarred from living too hard | |
| I was a punk before you were a punk | |
| You don't believe me? Just step outside and see me baby | |
| I was a punk before you were a punk | |
| You want some action? I'll put your ass in traction baby | |
| I was a punk before you were | |
| I was a punk before you | |
| I was a punk before you were | |
| I was a punk before you | |
| We were a joke at our own record label | |
| They told us, "Make a record, if you're able" | |
| They told us not to take too many chances | |
| And we pissed away our big advances | |
| The producer we got was a jerk | |
| but White Punks was one song that worked | |
| It was shot in the dark that just missed the mark | |
| We were surprised when it caused all this rage | |
| and they wouldn't let us take the stage | |
| We knew we had a lot of what it takes | |
| But we didn't get the lucky breaks | |
| Now it's all such a great big fuss | |
| and they all seem to copy just us | |
| We never got reimbursed for the punks that were first | |
| I was a punk before you were a punk | |
| You don't believe me? Just step outside and see me baby | |
| I was a punk before you were a punk | |
| You want some action? I'll put your ass in traction baby | |
| I was a punk before you were | |
| I was a punk before you | |
| I was a punk before you were | |
| I was a punk before you |
