The Offspring Lyrics
They customized their gear and synchronized
They flame out in the streets
With flame in their eyes
Guerrilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wallone hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run with London town
Down "Wardour Street" to "Soho Sound"
Don't sleep all day only when they fall down
A hundred rumble boys and tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's famous faces advertise today
And the studs on their back say
One hundred punks ruleone hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you can trust
There's never no bother and there's no fuss
Check out any wallone hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
And Jimmy's number 101 knows one
Day he'll be one watch himwatch him go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
I know whose by my side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear them sing for me
Check out any wall one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
Check out any wall one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
They flame out in the streets
With flame in their eyes
Guerrilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wallone hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run with London town
Down "Wardour Street" to "Soho Sound"
Don't sleep all day only when they fall down
A hundred rumble boys and tumble girls
Tomorrow's famous faces advertise today
And the studs on their back say
One hundred punks ruleone hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you can trust
There's never no bother and there's no fuss
Check out any wallone hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
And Jimmy's number 101 knows one
Day he'll be one watch himwatch him go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
I know whose by my side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear them sing for me
Check out any wall one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
Check out any wall one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
