D#                          A#               G# A#
Now Yin and Yang they got together at the bank
D#                          A#                G# A#
They had a youngin and they grew him in a tank
D#                        A#
They got to work and they put him on a train
         G#                                 A#
And you know they got together and they're doin
      B
it again (oh, baby)

Chorus:
A#         D#
Punk Rock City
G#            A#             D#
(going up to) Punk Rock City
G#            A#             D#
(going up to) Punk Rock City

And when this shit got started
it was never gonna stop
Designer genes for all the punks to live on top
Got to get to work
Got to get them on a train
If you're never going to die then
you're never going to come back here again

Chorus:
Punk Rock City
Going up to Punk Rock City
Going up to Punk Rock City
Punk Rock City

We're brother/sister and we are doing fine
Spend our whole life working in the mine
We get the train and we get ourselves to work
Then we have a little party,
then we have a little party, baby

Chorus:
Punk Rock City, wooh
Going up to Punk Rock City
I'm going up to Punk Rock City
Going up to Punk Rock City
Never die in Punk Rock City
Punk Rock City
