        C#m  E  B  Ab
        C#m  A  Ab

Verse:
C#m                 E
What could this be, too much MTV?
B                            Ab
Chalk another fad up for its fall into infamy.
C#m                        A
What's in a standard if it changes all the time?
Ab
You're still having trouble in defining your own kind.
C#m                E
Need I remind you, we all knew you before,
B                                      Ab
You threw rocks at the stage from your glass house on the floor.
C#m                        A
Now you think you're punk, just because it's in. 
Ab
You found a foul mouth and a couple safety pins.


Chorus:
E              B        F#                A        Ab
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't want to fight no more.
E              B        F#                      A              Ab
Got a peaceful feeling.   I don't care if we're punk or SKA or hardcore.
E               B             
Enough for you, sad but true, 
F#                              A          Ab
you can call us names till your face turns blue.
E                              B         
Our assurance comes from God, it's nothing new, 
F#                            A          Ab
we'll never care 'cause we're never cool enough for you.


Intro2 

Verse:
That smug look on your face, your nose up in the air,
your patches say you're open-minded but still you couldn't bear,
some punk thrown in with ska. You said it wouldn't work. 
Well you can take your Vespa home 'cause ska made you a jerk.
The purist turns a deaf ear. He's such an intellect,
Does he think his censorship is gaining our respect?
The raising of a fist, like the trigger of a gun. 
Stop and see we're all alike, and we can dance as one.
