lyrics

Some kids try too hard to be what their friends say they should
Take the case of Jodie, who did all that she could
Tried so hard she gave up her own personality
But Jodie knew exactly who she wanted to be

DK shirt and Converse shoes, chains and studs too
Patch-covered little jacket, and a beanie colored blue
Pushing, shoving, now Jodie's rockin' in the pit
Such a dramatic change in her it makes me sick

CHORUS:
(But then the)
Next thing you know, Jodie's out gettin' a tattoo
It'll go with all her piercings, now she's up to two
Then she's ditchin' school and spikin' up her hairdo
But all she says is 'I'm a punk and that's what punks do.'

BRIDGE:
Just be yourself, that's good enough for you
Don't give us another thought, do what you're gonna do
Just be yourself, that's good enough for you
Don't give us another thought, do what you're gonna do

And now she's a fixture at all of the punk shows
Showin' off her tattoo and the piercing in her nose
Jodie's got her pink hair and a bad attitude
But that's okay 'cause she's a punk and that's what punks do.
