Punk Freaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooklah the punk fought Lou Ferrigno
Ooklah the punk was struggling for some lyrics
Ooklah the punk says anything that fits
Ooklah, now you're lying in the gutter
Hates his father and his mother
Oh, your skin is just like butter
Ooklah the punk
Ooklah the punk says what do you know?
Ooklah the punk says how do you do?
Ooklah the punk says I am better than you
Ooklah, smoking drinking now he's thinking
Feeling like he should be kneeling
Sees damnation wants salvation
Ooklah the punk
I want to be saved like you
And I want to be your friend too
Ooklah the punk went to a revival
Ooklah the punk bought himself a new bible
Ooklah the punk he reads it everyday
Ooklah the punk says yippee kie yay
Ooklah, now we're at the end of the story
On a one way trip to glory
Now everything is hunky dory
Ooklah the punk
The song "The Rebel" by Punk Freaks tells the story of Ooklah the punk, who is struggling to find his place in the world. He is going to a show and fighting Lou Ferrigno, but is also struggling to come up with lyrics for his music. He says anything that fits, indicating his lack of direction and purpose. Ooklah is portrayed as a rebellious figure who hates everyone around him, including his parents. He is depicted as someone whose life is spiraling out of control, smoking, drinking and contemplating his damnation.
However, towards the end of the song, Ooklah's story takes a positive turn. He goes to a revival and buys himself a new bible, indicating a change in his perspective on life. He reads it every day and is excited about his newfound faith, saying "yippee kie yay." The song ends with Ooklah being at the end of the story and on a one-way trip to glory, suggesting that he has found his purpose and direction in life.
Overall, "The Rebel" is a commentary on the struggles of young people to find their place in the world, and the possibility of redemption through faith. The use of Ooklah as a character is a symbol of a lost soul who has found meaning and purpose through religion.
