The Varukers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know fuck all anyway
You only like the fucking Clash
They're only in it for the cash.
Varuker, Varuker.
In the UK, OK.
We will never sell out
Those old wankers sold out.
We will never sell out
The Varukers's song Varuker is a classic punk rock anthem that takes aim at sellouts and posers within the punk scene. The opening lines "I don't care what you say, you don't know fuck all anyway" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer rails against those who claim to be punk rockers but only like the Clash because of their popularity and financial success. The repeated chorus of "Varuker, Varuker, in the UK, OK" serves not only as a catchy refrain but also as a call to arms for true punk rockers to unite against those who have sold out.
The second verse continues the attack, calling out the "old wankers" who have sold out and proclaiming the Varukers' commitment to never selling out themselves. This sentiment echoes the punk rock ethos of staying true to oneself and rejecting mainstream commercialization, and it is clear that the Varukers take this philosophy seriously.
Overall, the lyrics to Varuker are uncompromising and unapologetic, embodying the rebellious spirit of punk rock and calling out those who have strayed from its roots. The song is a powerful anthem that is sure to resonate with any true punk rock fan.
