I saw her today,
I saw her face
It was the face I loved,
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray,
That they go away

And still it begins,
Needles and pins
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide

Oh I thought I was smart,
I stole her heart
I didn't think I'd do,
But now I see
She's worse to him than me,
Let her go ahead
Take his love instead,
And one day she will see
Just how to say please,
And get down on her knees
Oh that's how it begins,
She'll feel those needle and pins
Hurtin' her, hurtin' her

Why can't stop, and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up, and tell myself I'm strong?

Because, I saw her today,
I saw her face
It was the face I loved,
And I knew
I had to run away
And get down on my knees and pray,
That they go away

And still it begins, needles and pins
Because of all my pride,
The tears I gotta hide
Needle and pins,
Needle and pins,
Needle and pins

Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above
When they can't do it themselves

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Society's arms of control
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Think they're smart
Can't think for themselves
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
Laugh at us
Behind our backs
I find satisfaction
In what they lack

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

We are born with a chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
We're gonna rise above

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it's no use

Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above
We're gonna rise above

The Ramones get the vote here, because, unlike so many other punk bands )and other types of band) they hey have the good sense to not take themselves too seriously...

Besides, some "oldies" songs actually sound pretty good when punked up, and this is one of them.
