Degenerated (Live CBGBs 5/28/83)

Alright,
This is goin' out to whoever wants to hear it.
sittin' out in queens
I was in a school yard doin' a lot of drugs like, mescaline and stuff.
And ludes.
I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE!

Johnny doin' out on a Tuesday night?
Johnny can't read, Johnny can't write
Johnny just don't understand

Johnny don't care about this world
As long as he can fuck his girl
And prove that he's a man

Johnny wastes his days eatin' ludes
He's a teenage vegetable
Gettin' high proves that he's cool

Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant
He's a mindless brainwashed pig
Ring a bell, he starts to drool

Degenerated, degenerated
And your minds have vegetated
Degenerated, degenerated
And your thoughts are constipated

So I was sittin' in this fuckin' school yard, getting dope.
And then Punk Rock came along and made me a new man.
There is an answer.

Johnny hates to think, he's ignorant
He's a mindless brainwashed pig
Ring a bell, he starts to drool

And when he's old, he's gonna have a son
He'll grow up deaf and dumb,
Beggin' for money.

And then I, found out about punk.
