See the girl running around
She used to play in a band in town
Had an electric guitar covered in stars
The Be-Back Queen of the music scene
She got signed to a record label
Spent the advance on a pinball table
Sold a hundred records to all her friends
Now she's back again
She lives in a flat halfway up in the sky
Goes out with a boy through the MC5s
Wears a different t-shirt every night
With Access-All Areas pinned on tight
See her running around she's the girl about town that you heard of [4x]
See the girl lying under the bar?
She used to be a rock and roll star
Smoked cigarettes with Joan Jett in America
She got her picture in Rolling Stone
She was third from the left behind Joey Ramone
You couldn't see her face but I'm sure she looked great anyway
She lives in a flat halfway up in the sky
Goes out with a boy through the MC5s
He'd be ok if he didn't hit her
Or go to bed with the babysitter
See her running around she's the girl about town that you've heard of [4x]

The Queers sono un gruppo musicale statunitense di pop punk formatosi a Massachusetts nel 1981 da Joe King. Considerati uno dei gruppi pionieri del genere, hanno influenzato numerose band successive con il loro sound energico e le liriche spesso ironiche e autoironiche. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da riff veloci, melodie orecchiabili e testi che affrontano temi come la vita adolescenziale, l'amore, la frustrazione e la società. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Teenage Lobotomy", "Love You More Than My Life" e "Don't Wanna Be Straight". La band ha pubblicato numerosi album in carriera, tra cui "The Queers", "Move Away", "Get Off the Grass" e "Blank Generation", consolidando il loro posto nella storia del pop punk.
