'cause i'm a punk rocker, yes i am

"Punkrocker", The Teddybears (feat. Iggy Pop)

This song saved my fucking life this past week- mine and my co-pilots- in what was the last leg of a very long month of shooting. It is an absolutely perfect song when you are at the end of your rope and all you want to do is stick your middle finger up at anyone who speaks, for the sole reason that you are too exhausted and worn out to listen, much less care.

I continue to listen to it on repeat (though I've made it out of the 15-pass van) and it revvs me up every time. I am currently sitting in the Atlanta airport, rocking out with my bad self to the extreme curiousity of a lot of old people around me. And I care not, because me and Iggy know where it's at. This song is fantastic. Listen. Watch.

See me drivin down the street,
I'm bored with looking good.
I got both hands off the wheel,
The cops are coming.
I'm listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere...

'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

I see you stagger in the street,
And you cant stay on your feet.
And your faking in your sleep,
You wish that you were deep.
You can't hear me laughing to myself,
If you could you would be someone else.

'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

See me die on bleaker street,
I'm bored with being god,
See me sneering in my car,
I'm driving to my star.

I'm listening to the music with no fear,
You can hear it too if your sincere...


'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.

'Cause I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
Well I'm a punk rocker yes I am.
