Great send off from the crew...(note) suchas Live Clip Perfect Day...
Inside story goes it's a smash up of "Paint it Black"...on acid.

True Punk Worship Moment > 19th Jan 2012 Damned Gig Brisbane : tbb heard this...
"Fuck the Ramones & Fuck the Sex Pistols > Punk started right here in Brisbane with The Saints."
http://www.notaphoto.com/music-photography/the-damned-the-hi-fi-19-01-2012/

Know your Product is an equally "Damned" Hot Track..
Punk classic was more Damned than the Damned (This tune also won over the local Punks)
Let's do the Professor...

Official Qld Police State send off from Goldie Punkz / Social Cancer / Complete Chaos

{rip} Brizzo Punk Overlord Chris Bailey

Saints had too many shit hot tunes that overshadowed even better ones.
Listen for yourselves...play this tribute song once thru...you'll be hooked.
All agree...equally the best Oz Punk / Rock tracks of any time!

Brisbane (Security City) -The Saints...pull down the pure punk lyrics for extra cred.
Welcome to our Police State...one of us!

We all know the rules.
