History Lesson - Part II

by Minutemen

on Double Nickels on the Dime (1984)

Our band could be your life
Real names'd be proof
Me and Mike Watt, we played for years
Punk rock changed our lives.

We learned punk rock in Hollywood
Drove up from Pedro
We were fucking corndogs
We'd go drink and pogo

Mr. Narrator,
This is Bob Dylan to me
My story could be his songs
I'm his soldier child

Our band is scientist rock
But I was E. Bloom, Richard Hell,
Joe Strummer and John Doe
Me and Mike Watt, playing guitar
