She works at hot topic
His heart microscopic
She thinks that its love but to him its sex
He listens to emo but fat mike's his hero
His bank account's zero
What comes next?
Same song different chorus
It's stupid, contagious
To be broke and famous
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies your sweatbands
My spiked hair, your new vans
Let's throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101
She bought him a skateboard, a rail slide, his knee tore
He traded it for drums at the local pawn shop
She left him for staring at girls and not caring
When she cried because she thought Bon Jovi broke up
Same song second chorus
It's stupid, contagious
To be broke and famous
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies your sweatbands
My spiked hair, your new vans
Let's throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101
Don't forget to dely...on the very last word
Seven years later he works as a waiter
She married a trucker and he's never there
The story never changes, just the names and faces
Like Tommy and Gina they're living on a prayer
Did you just say that?
I just said
It's stupid, contagious (same song different chorus)
To be broke and famous (same song different chorus)
Can someone please save us from punk rock 101
My Dickies your sweatbands
My spiked hair, your new Vans
Let's shoplift some sweatbands for punk rock 101

This song is making fun of what punk culture has become! It seems to me that the guys, are making fun of the fact that a sub-culture based around anarchy, individuality, and all round hating authority, has become the type of thing, that has rules and regulations about how you can be a member. the song is basically making fun of the fact that punk rock has become so structured, that there's such a thing as 'punk rock 101'. the fact that some people are going "i wouldnt mind being saved from punk rock 101 so i can wear these clothes without feeling like a poser", just proves the ridiculousness of the sub-culture that bowling for soup is making fun of.
don't get me wrong i like punk music (well old punk music, like pre 1984), but i totally see what bowling for soups saying. or i could have gotten it completely wrong.
the chorus is great and i always sing along... 'lets throw up our rock hands for punk rock 101!' lol
this is great song. BFS are epic (:
no it's not TYPICAL punk such as hard riffs n scratchy hard to understand vocals
but that's the point of the whole song!
listen to the words carefully and take it all in
it's saying punk is not something you can learn at a place such as "punk rock boot camp" there is no structure for punk
it just is
this song also makes fun of the bands such as the casualties. Those glam punk type bands.
it's a good song and i respect these guys for it
"IF A PUNK BAND WRITES ANYTHING BESIDES HORRIBLE SONGS DEALING WITH DRUGS AND FUCKING CHICKS"
attitude that led to extreme fights with Against Me! because they choose to write songs with real meaning about the current political and social issues of today.
and ps.
bowling for soup is punk.
they're corporate rock.
look it up.
