"One Hundred Punks" lyrics

"One Hundred Punks"

They customized their gear and synchronized
They flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerrilla operator ain't heard of cool

Check out any wall:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule!

A hundred punks run with London town
Down Wardour Street to the Soho Sound
Don't sleep all week, only when they fall down
A hundred rumble boys and tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's famous faces advertised today

And the studs on their back say:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule!

A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp, they look like one
If you ain't got the look, you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you'll trust
There's never no bother and there's never no fuss

Check out any wall:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule!

And Jimmy's No. 101
Knows one day he'll be one
Watch him
Watch him go

A hundred punks run the leather army
I know who's by my side, not at home with TV
Even when I'm down, I hear you sing for me

Check out any wall:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule!

Check out any wall:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule!

I checked out all the walls:
"One hundred punks rule"
One hundred punks rule, okay!
