Title: Ska Punk Anthem [Intro: High-speed skatepunk guitar riff, frantic snare rolls, then a massive, catchy brass section melody explodes] (One, two, three, pick it up!) [Verse 1: Fast-paced energetic delivery, walking bassline, aggressive but melodic] You think it’s just a joke from nineteen ninety-eight A bunch of goofy kids who never learned how to skate You hear a single trumpet and you roll your eyes and say That horn-driven punk rock is completely fading away But you’ve never been caught in the middle of the pit When the double-time starts and the heavy guitars hit! [Pre-Chorus: Bouncy syncopated ska upstrokes, walking bass, horns swelling up in the background] So wipe that cynical smile right off of your face We’re bringing the brass back to completely tear up the place It’s a positive mental attitude keeping us alive And we are never gonna let this energy take a dive! [Chorus: Explosive double-time skatepunk beat, huge anthemic horn melody, very catchy sing-along gang vocals] So what do you know about the ska-punk sound?! (Ska-punk sound!) We’re picking it up and we’re shaking the ground! (Shaking the ground!) It’s a hundred and eighty BPM in the dark! It’s the melody bringing the fire and the spark! (Whoa-oh-oh! Let's go!) [Instrumental: Fast and bouncy interplay between distorted melodic punk guitars and a very catchy trombone hook] [Verse 2: Fast-paced delivery, bass and hi-hat only for the first two lines, very punchy] It’s the melodic lines crashing into the noise It’s a sweaty basement filled with the girls and the boys We don't care about the radio or the mainstream charts Because this fast upstroke rhythm is tattooed on our hearts You can keep your auto-tune and your slow acoustic tracks We’ve got a wall of distortion and the brass is on our backs! [Pre-Chorus: Bouncy syncopated ska upstrokes, walking bass, horns swelling up in the background] So wipe that cynical smile right off of your face We’re bringing the brass back to completely tear up the place It’s a positive mental attitude keeping us alive And we are never gonna let this energy take a dive! [Chorus: Explosive double-time skatepunk beat, huge anthemic horn melody, very catchy sing-along gang vocals] So what do you know about the ska-punk sound?! (Ska-punk sound!) We’re picking it up and we’re shaking the ground! (Shaking the ground!) It’s a hundred and eighty BPM in the dark! It’s the melody bringing the fire and the spark! (Whoa-oh-oh! Pick it up!) [Bridge: Half-time punk breakdown, heavy palm-muted guitar, slow building tension, rim clicks] We are the kids with the worn-out shoes... We play it fast because we've got nothing to lose... You think it's dead but we are proving you wrong... So get in the circle and sing along to the song! (Rapid-fire snare roll building up to a massive explosion!) I said get in the circle and sing along to the song! (One, two, one two three jump!) [Solo: Fast melodic punk guitar solo, very catchy and singable, bleeding seamlessly into a wild saxophone solo] [Chorus: Maximum energy, all instruments dialed to eleven, super catchy and anthemic gang vocals] So what do you know about the ska-punk sound?! (Ska-punk sound!) We’re picking it up and we’re shaking the ground! (Shaking the ground!) It’s a hundred and eighty BPM in the dark! It’s the melody bringing the fire and the spark! (One more time!) [Outro: Massive horn stabs playing the intro melody, rapid-fire snare roll, abrupt stop on a final heavy chord] Shake the ground! Bring the spark! Pick it up! (Hey!) [End]
