These are just some quotes, mostly from songs, about rock and punk that I may or may not use in my series.
I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel
Take your time, try not to forget
We never will, we're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
We're just a minor threat
That's a promise, ha ha
- Lyle Preslar & Ian MacKaye
Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like La La La La La

With a language we all understand
With an equal opportunity
For all to sing, dance and clap their hands
- Stevie Wonder
Yeah
Do you believe in magic?
Yeah
Believe in the magic of the young girl's soul
Believe in the magic of-a rock and roll
Believe in the magic that can set you free
Ohh, talking 'bout the magic
- John Sebastian
I know it's only rock 'n' roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
- Keith Richards/Mick Jagger
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
- Chuck Berry
Then, one fine mornin', she puts on a New York station
They know, she don't believe what she heard at all
She started shakin' to that fine, fine music
You know, her life was saved by rock'n'roll
- Lou Reed
Cum on feel the noize
Girls rock your boys
We get wild, wild, wild
Wild, wild, wild
- Jim Lea and Noddy Holder
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come and take your time and dance with me
Ow

Without music, life would be a mistake.

I had a dream when I was in high school,
I attended the Punk Rock Academy
I had a dream when I was in high school,
That at the Punk Rock Academy no one made fun of me
- Adam Goren
I don't know where I'm going but I know just
Where I'd like to be
With my punk rock girlfriend kissing me
Lets go
- David Schulthise and Joseph Genaro
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song
- Greg Graffin
We got into her car away, we started rollin'
I said how much you pay for this
Said "nothin' man it's stolen"
(Punk rock girl) you look so wild
(Punk rock girl) let's have a child
We'll name her Minnie Pearl
Just you and me
Eat fudge banana swirl
Just you and me
We'll travel round the world
Just you and me
Punk rock girl
- Joe Genaro and David Schulthise
Long live rock! I need it every night
Long live rock! Come on and join the line
Long live rock! Be it dead or alive
- Pete Townshend
You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day
- Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley
I want to move the town to the clash city rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only want to knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers
- Mick Jones and Joe Strummer
I don't want to hear about what the rich are doin'
I don't want to go to where, where the rich are goin'
They think they're so clever, they think they're so right
But the truth is only known by guttersnipes
We're a garage band, oh
We come from Garageland, oh
- Mick Jones and Joe Strummer
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric kettle drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar pickin' thumb
As soon as the Shareef
Cleared the square
They began to wail
- David Byrne
Shareef don't like it
I ain't got time for that now
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
This ain't no Mudd Club, or C.B.G.B
Shareef don't like it
This ain't no fooling around
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
- Mick Jones and Joe Strummer
