Hardcore skater used to be One of few who inspired me To get into the punkrock scene The year I turned seventeen Our first song ever Danny wrote For teenage angst he was the antidote An uncut diamond full of strife His first demo changed my life He's a rebel - It's plain to see Punk rock rebel - So full of strife He's a rebel and he'll always be someone who changed my life It takes a lot for a man to stay unbowed He's the one and only "Svag and proud" Partners we have been in crime And in music from time to time Although most known for his drinking skills It's not the side of him that gives me thrills It's the gifted poet I see in Dan To me he'll always be "the man" He's a rebel - It's plain to see Punk rock rebel - So full of strife He's a rebel and he'll always be someone who... Yeah someone who changed my life Hardcore skater used to be One of few who inspired me An uncut diamond full of strife His first demo changed my life He's a rebel - It's plain to see Punk rock rebel - So full of strife He's a rebel and he'll always be someone who changed my life He's a rebel - It's plain to see Punk rock rebel - So full of strife He's a rebel and he'll always be someone who...
