NOFX Separation of Church and Skate Lyrics

Lost in a sea of combat boots, flush out bouncers with wasted youth
When did punk rock become so safe? When did the scene become a joke?
The kids who used to live for beer and speed now want their fries and c__e!
Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed, in fact lets keep noise levels down

Must separate the church and skate

When dont we put pads on the kids? Helmets, head gear and mouth pieces.
Then we could pad the floors and walls, put cameras inside bathroom stalls,
We make sure only nice bands play, make every show a matinee, teach kids to be all they can be -- and we could sing My Country 'Tis of Thee...

Sweet land of liberty.

When did punk rock become so safe?
I know it wasnt Duane or Fletcher, who put up the barricades
Like a stake in the heart...somehow we got driven apart

I want conflict I want dissent, I want the scene to represent
Our hatred of authority, our fight against complacency
Stop singing songs about girls and love, you killed the owl you freed the dove
Confrontation and politics replaced with harmony and shticks
When did punk rock become so tame? These f___ing bands all sound the same!
We want our fights we want our thugs! We want our burns we want our drugs!
Where is the violent apathy? These f___ing records are rated G
