[Verse 1]
I should have known our time had come and gone
Just move aside and let the young punks ride
The wave of adulation, in complete capitulation
We had our day, is there anything left to say?

[Chorus]
Old punks don't die
They just cash in

[Verse 2]
I should have seen the videos on the screen
Selling out our souls for platinum green
Radio friendly and marketability, the new language of the scene Punk was finally in, said Rolling Stone and Spin

[Chorus 2]
Old punks don't die
They just cash in
Old punks don't die
They just cash in

[Bridge]
I must admit
I don't go in the pit
Like I used to anymore
Stealing the bands beer to share out on the floor
I tried to hang out but I tire faster now
Yes I still believe
I have that punk disease
But fighting in the streets
Is so hard on the feet
I find my support greater schmoozing backstage

[Chorus 3]
Old punks don't die
They just cash in
Old punks don't die
They just cash in
Old punks don't die
They just cash in
Old punks don't die
They just cash in
