Let's Blast Off
02:09
|
|||
Let's blast off tonight
Let's blast off into outer space
Nothing here but politics
And these angry debates
And it makes me feel sick
So let's get lost in space
I don't want to take part
I just want to be free
So let's take to the stars
Form a space colony
Let's blast off tonight
Let's blast off into outer space
When you're feeling all alone
In your dorm room at night
Don't just stare at your phone
Find a ship to the skies
Pretty soon we'll be gone
Never return to Earth
Find a place to belong
In this wide universe
Let's blast off tonight
Let's blast off into outer space

Shoo-B-Doo
00:57
|
|||
I try everything I can by acting like a goon
I keep hoping you'll look in my direction soon
But more than likely you don't know my name
And I'll bet my shyness is mostly to blame
I can't play guitar, I can't sing
I'll write you a song and be embarassing
Shoo-B-doobie doobie doo doo doo doo doo
How do I get noticed by you?

Crowd Surfin'

Let's go crowd surfin' USA
It's a beautiful evening on Clearwater Beach
Let's head on over to downtown St. Pete
We gotta get our bodies to the punk rock show
Starts around 9 O' Clock, don'tcha know
When the band takes to the stage
They'll sing the anthems of the age
We'll move around and sing along
But by the time they play the second song
We'll freak out!
We'll get rad!
Have the best time we ever had
We'll jump!
Lose our minds!
Everybody's havin' a good time
Let's go crowd surfin' USA
Let's go crowd surfin' USA
It's the perfect time of day to grab my friends
Drive over the causeway to see our favorite bands
Watch them sing their hearts out in a trashed our dive
Punk rock was always meant to be played live
Let's go crowd surfin' USA
Let's go crowd surfin' USA

You're A Pervert!
01:00
|
|||
Well she's not gonna like you
So don't bother her with stupid invitations
But you're still gonna try to
Is that your only aspiration?
Well she just wants to be alone
So don't call her on the phone
She has the right to be on her own
But you're a pervert and you know it's true
You're a pervert and you know it's true
Have you no respect for her?
What part of "No" do you not understand?
Still your advances re-occur (Cuz you're a pervert!)
Now your wants are sounding like demands
Well she just wants to be alone
So don't call her on the phone
She has the right to be on her own
But you're a pervert and you know it's true!

I Wanna Be A Beach Boy
02:37
|
|||
I wanna be a Beach Boy
Harmonize until I die
And if I could be a Beach Boy
I'd be the coolest guy oh-woah yeah
I wanna be a Beach Boy
I would surf everyday
Actually I probably wouldn't
Mike Love never surfed anyway
I'd stand out on the beach and sing my little songs
I'd never go in the water, stay on the sand all day long
People could then invite me out to surf
And I would have to tell them, I never really learned
But here it goes
I wanna be a Beach Boy
Harmonize until I die
And if I could be a Beach Boy
I'd be the coolest guy oh-woah-oah
I wanna be a Beach Boy
I would surf everyday
Actually I probably wouldn't
Mike Love never surfed anyway
I would sing in my room, a place that I can go now
I'd put out 7 albums in about a year or so now
People would invite me to their hula parties (Hula hula!)
Because they all believe... I surfed out to Hawaii now
I wanna be a Beach Boy
I would surf everyday
Actually I probably wouldn't
Mike Love never surfed anyway
(And neither did Brian Wilson!)

Homeward Bound
02:13
|
|||
I'm 22 now and time is drawing near
This feeling gets worse with every year
There's nothing that I can do
But roll with the punches
But I don't wanna keep living in the past
Life holds more, the world is vast
There is just no point in staying angry, hurt, or down
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
I don't wanna grow old all alone
I don't wanna forget the friends I've known
I just wanna keep them by my side
And have friends in whom I can confide
For now and forever
But I don't wanna keep living in the past
Life holds more, the world is vast
There is just no point in staying angry, hurt, or down
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
But time moves on and people do too
I don't spend much time with the old crew
And I haven't even heard from them in a while
But I don't wanna keep living in the past
Life holds more, the world is vast
There is just no point in staying angry, hurt, or down
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound
Everyday I'm feelin' homeward bound

Thursday Night
02:04
|
|||
A shooting star goes flyin' across the night sky
I had to think fast so I made the first wish on my mind
Man, I may have wasted it, but it's what was in my head
I'm feelin' tired, I'm feelin' sick
Goodnight, I'm goin' to bed
This happens day after day when I get my hopes up
Why do I do this everytime?
For a few days I get all hyped up
Only to spend weeks out of line
Days go by, they turn to weeks and I look back again
Laugh a bit at all the things I worried 'bout back then
Time heals all wounds, so they say and it just may be true
I'm wasting time, in my dorm room
Worried over something new
This happens day after day when I get my hopes up
Why do I do this everytime?
For a few days I get all hyped up
Only to spend weeks out of line
This happens day after day when I get my hopes up
Why do I do this everytime?
For a few days I get all hyped up
Only to spend weeks out of line

Liam Got Engaged
01:05
|
|||
Well Liam was a happy man
But something was missing from his life
He collected all the He-man action figures
He still needed a wife
Liam got engaged
Woah-oah Liam to engaged
Well Liam was a fan of Bigfoot research
But somebody started spreading lies
That doesn't matter
Cuz he found something better
And she chose him from the other guys
Liam got engaged
Woah-oah Liam to engaged
Woah-oah Liam to engaged

Super Hero Stalker
02:15
|
|||
I'm just a guy, I swing around on a web all day
I fight crime, the cops are tryin' to take me away
It's just not fair, it's just not fair
No one really understands
They just don't care, they just don't care
I'm your neighborhood Spider-Man!
But maybe if they knew
I'm in love with you
Mary Jane
They all might go away
And nobody would complain
Except that loser Harry
I think he's just going mad
He shouldn't be so angry, just cuz I killed his stupid dad
Plus I stole his girl
I saved her life 3 times
I'm your super hero stalker Spider-Man!

Halloween Party
02:38
|
|||
You invited me to your Halloween party
You begged me to go
So I made time without convenience to me
And I wish I had said "no"
Cuz when I got there you didn't even talk to me
I walked around in my costume oh so awkwardly
Looking back I realize this was a trick
Without a treat, and now I'm feeling oh so sick
I went down to your Halloween party
Missed out on the punk rock show
I could think of a better place to be
At home watching The Brak Show
Cuz when I got there you didn't even talk to me
I walked around in my costume oh so awkwardly
Looking back I realize this was a trick
Without a treat, and now I'm feeling oh so sick

Welcome To My Room
03:15
|
|||
I go to my room
No one there to tell me who to be or what to do
Hang concert flyers on the wall
I play my records, I memorize them all
You haven't seen my room, you don't know what I'm all about
The NES is alway plugged in and the N64
and my DVDs
Consist of Bill & Ted, Better Off Dead, and TMNT
I'll never grow out of the stupid stuff I grew up on
I dedicate this song
To my favorite things
And the bedroom that I filled with them
A room where nothing can go wrong
Nothing Can Go Wrong
I stay in my room
Strum my guitar or play Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Sort my CD collection again
MxPx, Screeching Weasel, and The Lillingtons
Collectible action figures line the shelves so beautifully
My TV set is a little old, but the screen is big
I remember when
I bought it at a yard sale, 15 dollars, the perfect price for me, well
I'll never grow out of the stupid stuff I grew up on
I dedicate this song
To my favorite things
And the bedroom that I filled with them
A room where nothing can go wrong
Nothing Can Go Wrong

Stood Up
01:58
|
|||
It's a Friday night and I waited up for you
Took a shower, dressed myself, but plans did not fall through
Where did you go?
Am I really that lame?
I thought that you were different, but I guess you're just the same
Well I declare
That I don't even care
I'm goin' out with my friends and don't wanna see you there
Another Friday came as another week went by
Gave you a second chance but now I don't know why
Where did you go?
And why are you so lame?
I won't waste another night embarassed and ashamed
Well I declare
That I don't even care
I'm goin' out with my friends and don't wanna see you there
You stood me up
Cuz I'm just a stupid punk
For what other reason would you treat me so unjust?
Well I declare
That I don't really care
I'm goin' out with my friends and don't wanna see you there

Dairy Queen King
02:11
|
|||
Everytime I hang out with my buddy, Eric
We gotta go to the Dairy Queen
He gets a Blizzard while I get a sandwich
I'm tellin' you he's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen Ki-i-ing
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
After Dairy Queen we always go to Movie Stop
Pick up some classic Godzilla flicks
Ice cream and classic movies... that's pretty hard to top
That's why these are the favorite things of his
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen Ki-i-ing
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
And if he ever pays me back
I just might have a heart attack
One time I lent about seven bucks to him
I'll never see that cash again
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen Ki-i-ing
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King

Rambler
03:19
|
|||
I spend every single day
With things I need to say
To myself just to calm my mind
If me and I could talk it out
What do I think would I talk about?
Try to figure out how to fix my brain
I'll write a letter to
Myself to get me through
Frustrations in my head
And if you only knew
What my petition is gonna do
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead
Well I constantly feel annoyed
But I'd rather be overjoyed
Throw all my problems far away
And if I could just move along
Put everything where it belongs
I could feel more than just okay
I'll write a letter to
Myself to get me through
Frustrations in my head
And if you only knew
What my petition is gonna do
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead
If all my thoughts could materialize
I'd strap them to a stick of dynamite
And watch them explode until I can't remember a thing at all
I'll write a letter to
Myself to get me through
Frustrations in my head
And if you only knew
What my petition is gonna do
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead
Maybe you'd sign on the line instead

Cash Register Queen
02:09
|
|||
I stopped in right around lunch time
Stood there waiting in that ridiculous line
When I got to the cash register
That's when I first laid my eyes on her
Everyday I go out
I think about
Stopping in to see
The cashier for me
What if I got the guts
Decided what I'd do
I would have to say I'm going bonkers over you
I've gone bananas, gone insane
I've gone mental, I've gone cuckoo in the brain
Cashier girl, wanna wanna come over tonight?
We could watch some vintage sci-fi
War of the Worlds from 1953
Watch aliens get smacked by Gene Barry
Cashier girl, wanna wanna be mine?

Walk Away Discount
01:57
|
|||
I know you say that you're better than me
But I don't care to compete
I'm gonna say it now so you can see
That your pride will induce self-defeat
So go ahead and blab all you like
I'm not gonna put up a fight
I'll walk away with this smirky smile on my face
And discount all of your trite
I've heard about all the things that you've done
But I laugh at this in the end
You'll destroy everything within the long run
And oh what fun it's been
So go ahead and blab all you like
I'm not gonna put up a fight
I'll walk away with this smirky smile on my face
And discount all of your trite
