Never Mind the Ballcocks Album

Headline in the mail, Ink still wet! 
Herald \u0026 Post—a paper I regret. 
Turn the page, there's a picture of the show, 
Then the words that make the red mist grow. 
Some hack with a byline and a miserable face, 
Sat in the back, ruining the place. 
You didn't get it, you didn't even try, 
Just spat out your poison and walked on by!

'It's all a load of ballcocks'—that's what you wrote! 
Choked on your tea, ripped up your coat! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We don't care what you say! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We play for the kids, not for your wage! 
Your one-star review? 
You can stick it right up!

You call yourself a critic, a judge of the sound? 
Another boring loser running 'round this town. 
Probably wore a tweed jacket and a smug little sneer, 
Didn't tap your foot, didn't shed a tear. 
You think your opinion is gospel and truth? 
It's just the dull soundtrack of your wasted youth! 
You wanna review us? Well, we review you: 
You're beige, you're bland, and your column is poo!

'It's all a load of ballcocks'—that's what you wrote! 
Choked on your tea, ripped up your coat! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We don't care what you say! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We play for the kids, not for your wage! 
Your one-star review? 
You can stick it right up!

You think we want your validation? 
You think we care about your station? 
The Herald \u0026 Post will be gone by next year! 
But we'll still be playing, loud and clear!

We didn't come to pose, we didn't come to please, 
We came to make a racket and spread a disease! 
The floor was shaking and the sweat was flying high, 
Every person there had fire in their eye! 
We built a community on three power chords, 
Ignored the rich idiots and the self-appointed lords! 
The Herald \u0026 Post is a fish and chip wrapper now, 
But the energy we created will survive somehow!

'It's all a load of ballcocks'—that's what you wrote! 
Choked on your tea, ripped up your coat! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We don't care what you say! 
NEVER MIND THE BALLCOCKS! 
We play for the kids, not for your wage! 
Your one-star review? 
You can stick it right up!

NEVER MIND! 
NEVER MIND! THE BALLCOCKS! 
NEVER MIND! 
NEVER MIND!
