What is a punk song that could go along with Romeo and Juliet?

Question

i have an assignment for my english class in which we have to come up with a song from a specific genre to go along with one scene from the play, lyrically.Of course, all the songs i can think of all go with any of shakespeare's other plays, but not Romeo and Juliet. It doesn't matter what scene or song, but i would prefer to have as little 'inappropriate' content in the lyrics.

They're more proto-punk, and this song is more of a ballad, but the Ramones' "I Want You Around" would work for Romeo and Juliet.

It would probably work for the balcony scene, in fact. :D

I want you around 
I want you around
They're telling us 
They're gonna make a fuss
About the two of us

I want you around 
I want you around
I know what youre thinking about 
That you must have some doubts
I know what youre thinking
When you find out I want you around

You know if it comes true 
I'll be so good to you
I'll never treat you cruel 
As long as I've got you around

I want you around 
I want you around
You heard that I'm no good 
Yeah, yeah I'm no good
But I'll treat you like I should
I want you around 
I want you around

You know if it comes true 
I'll be so good to you
I'll never treat you cruel 
As long as Ive got you around

I want you around 
I want you around
They're telling us 
They're gonna make a fuss
About the two of us
I want you around 
I want you around
I want you around 
I want you around
