We used to leave the blue lights on
And there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone it's all caffeine-free
Faux punk fatigues
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
Get no harm done, no
None of them want to fight me
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
Get back in town
I want to paint it black
I want to get around
Easy living crowd, so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong, but
No one here wants to fight me, like you do
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
I try to be so nice
Compromise
Who gets it good?
Every mighty, mild seventies child
Every mighty, mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do do doo
Combat baby, come back baby
Combat baby, come back
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Combat baby, come back
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?
And there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone it's all caffeine-free
Faux punk fatigues
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
Get no harm done, no
None of them want to fight me
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
Get back in town
I want to paint it black
I want to get around
Easy living crowd, so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong, but
No one here wants to fight me, like you do
Combat baby, come back baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back
I try to be so nice

Every mighty, mild seventies child
Every mighty, mild seventies child
Beats me
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do doo
Do do do doo
Combat baby, come back baby
Combat baby, come back
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye baby
Combat baby, come back
How I miss your ranting
Do you miss my all time lows?

I think this song is about these faux punk groups/singers out there who claim to be punk (Sum41, Avril Lavigne, etc.) who are really just pop fakers. She is singing to the real punk, underground community, asking them not to fade away and let these idiots take over and ruin the name of punk. I think this theme is pretty clear from the lyrics, and just have to say "AMEN!"
