All Ages Show Tonight
Against All Authority Lyrics

They always shout so he tunes them out.
He ignores the people who try to bring him down by blasting his music loud.

And turns it up.
He increases the volume of his music to find solace in it.

He's found a place to go.
He has discovered a place where he can be himself and find a sense of belonging.

When he's had enough.
When he becomes tired of the same monotonous life, he has a place to escape to.

It's in the city where her parents said she couldn't go.
She goes to a forbidden city, which her parents disapprove of.

She don't care.
She does not bother about what others think of her or her choices.

They hate her hair.
They despise her hair color.

But she won't let it grow.
She refuses to change herself and lose her identity for the sake of others.

He ain't allowed to call.
He is not permitted to communicate with her.

Ripped the flyers off her wall.
Someone tore down the posters she put on her wall.

Of that mohawked boy.
The posters were of her lover, who had a mohawk hairstyle.

They fucking blame it all.
Some people hold her lover responsible for everything and scorn him for his appearance.

All ages show.
A concert that welcomes people of all ages.

Forbidden city tonight.
The concert is in a prohibited place.

It's all they know.
Going to this concert is the only way they know how to escape from their mundane life.

He's holding her so tight.
He embraces her, soaking in comfort and love.

In the darkest corner of the club.
They stand hidden in a dimly lit area of the venue.

They're watching the band.
They focus on the performance of the musical act.

Holding hands tangled leather n studs.
They hold hands wearing punk leather-studded clothing.

Boots braces sucking on each others faces.
They kiss deeply while remaining smitten with each other.

Tonight you know it just feels right.
This moment feels perfect to them, even though they are in a dark and unusual setting.

Just another punk alone in the city.
They are just a couple of rebellious punks in the big city.

With a skinhead girl a box of wine.
He is with his lover, who has a shaved head and they are sharing a box of wine.

Yeah they're pretty fucked up.
They are inebriated and high.

And feeling shitty.
Despite being together, they are feeling upset and low about their life's circumstances.

But at least they got each other tonight.
The only solace they can find is in each other.

They feel this town as they spin around.
They feel a sense of connection with the city as they twist and turn around.

Together alone.
They are together and happy, but feel isolated from the rest of the world.

In the middle of the crowd.
They are amongst a huge gathering of people.

They ain't going home.
They don't want to go back to their mundane lifestyles.

No one's ever gonna tell them what to feel inside.
They refuse to listen to anyone who tries to govern their emotions.

They don't care.
They have nothing to lose and choose to live life on their own terms.

Blue Hair.
Her hair is blue in color.

To match the feelings they hide.
The color of her hair matches the emotions they keep within and do not express outwardly.

Denied.
They have been prevented from being their true selves.

They've tried.
They have made efforts to change themselves and conform, but failed.

Now there just sick and tired.
They have lost the energy and desire to please others and are exhausted from being submissive.

Of not feeling alive.
They crave a sense of adventure and excitement that makes them feel alive.
