lyrics

This is a song about toxic cliques within the punk scene. It's about standing up for yourself and not betraying your politics in favour of popularity contests. Stand by survivors, stick up for each other but do not defend someone that's done something shitty and refuses to be held accountable just because they're your friend. It's behaviour like that that reinforces rape culture, heteronormativity, white supremacy, ableism, body shaming and patriarchy within the scene. Are we actually punk or are we playing at being punk? What does punk even mean to us? Is it anti-authoritarian and critical or is it defined by saying the right words, wearing the right clothes and sheltering abusers?

Am I punk yet?
Am I punk enough?
Am I punk yet?
Am I punk enough?

Punish me for my sins
Punish me for staying in
Punish me for my sins
Punish me, break me in

Keep it in the family
Don't let anyone know
Keep it in the family
Don't let anyone go
