It’s “Officer Krupke”, but otherwise yes. The lines were carefully selected.
And this one, which seems to have stumped the band:
…is the first half of the third verse of The Star-Spangled Banner. The verses you never hear make for interesting reading.

“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.
Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.”
– Albert Einstein
Nope, I don’t know them. I wasn’t really into punk in the 80s (I was a little kid) but I do enjoy the Germs, Dead Kennedys, a little Circle Jerks, etc.
afireinside got #1 right (incidentally, my name is also a AFI reference)
#2 I was suprised that nobody recognized this Blink-182 song
As for #3, I guess nobody listens to Ten Foot Pole.
#4 I was really suprised that nobody listens to Boysetsfire.
Cisco knows what’s up with #5
#6 pezpunk knows his Operation Ivy.
#7 Maybe I just picked a bad song, but I’ve found it’s almost a given to find a Faith No More fan in any sizeable group.
My signature is another Refused lyric.
And here are some other lyrics:
Today I woke up alone / wishing you were here with me / I wanted us to be something / that we’d probably never be / today you called me up / and said you’d see me at our show / but now i’m stuck debating / if i even wanna go.
When you see me it’s always / hey joe / how is it goin’ bro / where have you been man / we used to be such good friends / two faced, you don’t care / you know what you can do with it / hypocrite / don’t give me that shit
Lost the battle / lost the war / lost the things worth living for / lost the will to win the fight / one more pill to kill the pain / the going gets tough / the tough get debt / don’t pay attention pay the rent / our next of kins pay for your sins / a little faith should keep us safe
Lock your doors / and close your eyes / sit back and watch tv / while the problem grows outside / lock your doors and shut off your mind / while you are safe inside / the city is burning tonight
