You see? Posers.

"Anarchy in the U.K."

What the tuck's that?

What good is that to those ot us

in Utah, America?

It was a Sex Pistols thing, right? They

were trom England. They were British.

That's what they did. They were allowed

to go on about anarchy in the U.K.

You don't live your lite by lyrics.

I mean, that's all you ever heard

trom these trendy fucks.

Like, "Did you hear the new

Smiths album? It's f***in' territ."

Kids walking around Utah saying "terrif"

with a stupid old English twang.

See what I mean? What the f***'s up

with the England bullshit?

You know Jag? He's a tag.

I knew a girl who'd only have sex

with a guy if he had a f***ing accent.

Can you think ot anything

more ludicrous?

So every a**hole

in Salt Lake City...

and let me tell you, plenty ot a**holes

in this general region...

that wanted to do some ot this,

would get her drunk...

and put on some kind

ot stupid accent...

like, "Hey, mistress,

do you tancy a shag?"

And there she would...

tucking knees in the sky.

It was sad. It made me really sad.

Poor girl had no self-respect.

To me, England was nothing more

than a big American state...

like North Dakota or Canada.

You gotta look at me and say, "Hey,

why are you so mad?" And I'll tell you.

'Cause tor all the fawning that

went over the English bands in S.L. C...

those tuckin' English chaps

could only say sh*t about us Americans.

All we were to them

was a bunch ot hicks.

Well, you know what?

I'm not a f***in' hick!

I don't wear cowboy boots.

I hate the f***in' rodeo.

Horses smell like sh*t to me...

and I don't tuck anyone

in my own bloodline.

By detinition, I'm not a redneck,

and I ain't a f***in' hick.

Oh, the sun never sets

on the British empire.

Well, the sun never sets

on my a**hole!

Another thing that pissed me off,

talking about who started punk rock.

Was it Sex Pistols in England?

Was it the Ramones

and the Velvet Underground in New York?

Is it the Ramones?

Is it the Sex Pistols?

Who cares who started it?

It's music.

I don't know who started it,

and I don't give a tuck.

The one thing I do know

is that we did it harder...

goddamn it, we did it faster, and we

definitely did it with more love, baby!

You can't take that away from us.

Exhibit A.

It's my only exhibit,

really, but, you know what?

I think it's pretty tuckin' good.

F*** oft and die.

One of these days it's got to go

One of these days I'm comin' out slow

One of these days we'll all be bored

One of these days I'm comin' out strong

One of these days it's got to go

One of these days I'm comin' out strong

One of these days, yeah

It you were a tuckin' man,

you'd f*** me here!
