Everybody seems to have their own story about a clash with the police or authority
The more people who know the better it gets "...police vans and SWAT teams!" you'll never forget
Scars from clashes with rival believers, scaring the shit out of innocent receivers
People that are passing don't have a clue about the punk rock passion that really drives you...

Saturday nights are now full of violence, the city streets are no longer silenced
Chanting tunes with a beer in hand, protesting about the wankers who run this land
Unemployed as the systems no good for you, turned it's back didn't wanna hear yer view
A cynical smile cracks remember last nights gig? That poor little bastard you snapped like a twig...

Because you're an Upstart...

Things you say to me (Just walk away...)
Your life of misery (Just walk away...)
Why don't you turn around and walk away? ('Cos youre a...)

You're an Upstart...
