Lyrics
When I was young there was a kid named Josh
He was a real punk rocker
He had two tattoos and wore a leather jacket
And he looked just like Mad Max
We tried to be cool but it really didn't work
By writing Black Flag 4 on our lockers
Then one day he just disappeared
Finally we could just relax
He was a punk named Josh
And he really was an asshole
And we had lots of fun
But it really was a hassle
He was a punk named Josh
And he got bad grades
And he had lots of pimples
But he always got laid
When Josh came back
From his punk rock adventures
Doing drugs and running from the law
He had two new tattoos of an anarchy symbol
And a pretty girl named Roxanne
His dad was really pissed and sent Josh to rehab
That's where punk kids go
And he ran away again
And the last I heard someone saw him at a PUNK ROCK SHOW!
He was a punk named Josh
And he really was an asshole
And we had lots of fun
But it really was a hassle
He was a punk named Josh
And he got bad grades
And he had lots of pimples
But he always got laid
He was a punk named Josh
He was a punk named Josh
He was tough in the mosh
He was a punk named josh
He was a dirty punk-like child high on sauce
He was a punk named Josh
And he really was an asshole
And we had lots of fun
But it really was a hassle
He was a punk named Josh
And he got bad grades
And he had lots of pimples
But he always got laid
He was a punk named Josh
And he wore ripped jeans
But his dad didn't like it
You know his dad was kinda mean
He was a punk named Josh
And he really didn't care
When he had a problem he'd go "Aww, dude"
And he had funny hair
He was a punk named Josh
