about

A slightly satirical look at the rise and fall of the rock n' roll star.

lyrics

Blame punk rock for teenage vices
The kids don’t want high ticket prices
Who are you to tell us what to do?

We want it loud, we want it strong
We just wanna sing our favourite song
Who are you, to try and sing along?

Chorus
So blame punk rock for teenage vices
Why do fads have license to steal the show?
Oh baby, we don’t know
All these rock bands were starry eyed
Ended up suited and tied
Oh baby, what a surprise

You can play your blues on your silver spoons
Drink champagne that ricocheted from the fuse
Tell me, does it suit you?
Remember when you were just a fan?
Spent your last dollar to see the band
Oh yeah, well we do

Johnny Rotten used to have it right
But he sold out the world last night
Oh what a show, too bad we couldn’t go

It used to be your favourite dive
Where you could feel so good to be alive
But now it’s only corporate rock n’ roll

So
Blame punk rock for teenage vices
The kids don’t want high ticket prices
Who are you, to tell us what to do?
We want it loud, we want it strong
We just wanna sing our favourite song
So who are you, to try and sing along?

So let’s blame punk rock for teenage vices
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all get along
Get along

The Escape Artist is an excuse for nostalgia. Take a trip through displays of vintage pop art from the garage, featuring notes of flash guitar, singalong juxtapositions, and a voice for the backdated generation.
