I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and it burns like hell
A stick and poke from a guy at a show and it’s already starting to swell
He was hangin’ out in the back of a van with a bled out pen
He had some flash and was short on cash so I said “What the hell, let me in”

Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But I figured some ink would get me some cred in the scene

I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and I ain’t too smart
It’s supposed to be Crass but it looks like ass and the dude said it’s a work of art
The spot on my thigh is bleeding and why did I take this on
I rode my bike to the venue today but of course what the fuck he was gone

Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But for all of this anguish I say fuck my cred in the scene
(it ain’t worth it, fuck this)

Y’know the crusty kids ain’t too clean traditionally
But I figured some ink would get me some cred in the scene

I got a twenty dollar tattoo last night and it burns like hell
A stick and poke from a guy at a show and it’s already starting to swell
He was hangin’ out in the back of a van with a bled out pen
He had some flash and was short on cash so I said “What the hell, let me in”
