Spirit of 77-reborn
out on a limb
out on the streets
just you and me
and the boots on our feet
left in the rain
left in the cold
the last of your kind
your scenes been sold
where is johnny
where is sid
where are the leaders
i knew as a kid
Julie just broke down
and Sid, well he's gone for good
Johnny became a tv star
and Joey would be here, if only he could
seemed yesterday i saw Jimmy
had the whole crowd so excited
when he sang about how good it'd be
if only us kids were united
Billy made it big on mtv
when he finally went solo
and Debbie became a recluse
last i heard she was in Soho
Mickeys still playing
trying to keep the scene awake
and the Clash burnt out with Casbah
they got more than they could take
Jello reclaimed his bohemia
still supports the kids today
the kids who remained loyal
who never went astray
those who saw the rise and watched the fall
as punk rock was cast from heaven
many have died, but many survived
to resurrect the spirit of '77
