Punk?
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Assholes are back
with 15 new tracks
We are still arrogant and drunk
You like to tell us
That we're no punkfellas
Did we ever say we are?

ahm yeah
ok our fault

Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
We're drug addicted but not addictive
Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
Cocky by nature we're haere to capture

We're not sexist
Hey bitch, back to kitchen
Oh, what a subtle irony
But some of you don't get it
You are pathetic
We say and do whatever we want
So, fuck you

Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
We're drug addicted but not addictive
Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
We got no mohawk, we're not punkrock
We just suck, so what

My english's not bad, mine are perfect
All of my lines rhyme
Wanna get a date with fran fine
We're only here to entertain
You think "not these bitches again"
Keep saying that you really hate us
That just promotes us more and more

Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
We're drug addicted but not addictive
Here we go
we're just playing shows for the dough
Cocky by nature we're here to capture
Here we go
Not doing this shit for you
We just play music cause we love it
Here we go




An autography costs 10€
Assholes by nature, so what

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Punk" by 3 Feet Smaller sheds some light on the stereotypes associated with punk rockers. The song starts by acknowledging that the band is back with 15 new tracks and that they are still arrogant and drunk. The band then responds to the criticism that they are not "punkfellas" by sarcastically asking if they ever said they were, indicating that they don't care if they don't fit that stereotype. They go on to say that they are just playing shows for the money and are drug addicts but not addictive, perhaps indicating that they enjoy the lifestyle associated with being a rockstar, but they are not going to let it harm them.


The band also touches on sexism by saying "We're not sexist, Hey bitch, back to kitchen, Oh, what a subtle irony". The band's use of irony shows that they are not being serious and are instead trying to highlight how ridiculous and outdated such attitudes are. Another theme of the song is how they do not care what others think about them; they will say and do whatever they want. The band concludes by saying that they play music because they love it, not for their fans, and that an autograph costs 10€. The band's message is clear: they do not fit the stereotype of punk rockers, nor do they care about it.
