History Lesson - Part II

History Lesson - Part II is a song from the 1984 album "Double Nickels on the Dime" by the American rock band Minutemen. The song is about the relationship of singer D. Boon and Mike Watt as they played music together.

Lyrics

The song features the iconic first line "Our band could be your life," which, according to Rolling Stone, "articulates punk's Everyman aesthetic." It was also used as the title of the book by Michael Azerrad. The first stanza of the song also includes the line "Punk rock changed our life." The band Sublime sampled this line for their song "Waiting for My Ruca" on their debut album 40 Oz. to Freedom.
