They look at us as just nothing
They look at us as if we're maimed
They think that it's just a mistake
But they stare at us all the same

They can't believe in a word
They think that we're just joking
But they don't ignore everything
'cos they know that it's them that's joking

They wonder why we do it
But they don't ask to our face
So they make up all their own ideas
And call us an unwanted race

It's easier to explain to their children
That we're just something all gone wrong
And they say that it's best to ignore us
Or they'll catch the disease we've got

It's printed in the paper that we're enemy
That it's the punks versus the teds
Which makes it impossible to walk down the street
Without thinking you're gonna get a kick in the head
But don't tell me it's my fault
My fault 'cos it's what I'm being
'Cos I ain't gonna change my ideas
'cos it's something I choose to believe in!

But the system's trying to destroy it
Attack after attack the press in it rubs
If someone's stabbed outside the music machine
They call it a "Punk rock club"

But we don't want to have the blame
For the celibates that go see The Troggs
But I guess it will always be the same
They just always blame "the Punk rockers"!
