I want to skateboard again
Hang out and skate with my friends
Kicking and flipping
and grinding all over the world
I want to skateboard again
Don't try to tell me I can't
kick it and flip it
and grind it, impressing the girls
Maybe I'm too old
Maybe I'm too old?
Fuck that!

A violent act of aggression
should be endearing to you
you beg for all that attention
you get it, what'll you do?
Stay in your room,
stay in room
Just like a cat on its birthday
its owner must have forgot
it shits all over the doorway
the owner cuts its head off
Stay in your room,
you should stay in your room
Brighter skies, greener pastures
Free of self-involved bastards
Leech men, locked in little campers
Screaming for their pampers
Now we know better
than to feed the beast
watch his face get redder
and see his pants get wetter
He's a real go-getter!
Keep wining you're gonna get drunk
I'll turn into a typhoon
and blow you out of my doorway
It couldn't happen too soon
Happen too soon,
it couldn't happen too soon
Happen too soon,
it couldn't happen too soon

Sunlight
04:54
|

Waiting for sunlight on underground trains
waiting for feelings to come when it rains
Children will play along with stupid games
just water & watch them grow up to be sane

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise
A Tom Cruise mission
is not impossible
Tom Cruise will flip bottles
Tom Cruise will kiss models
Tom Cruise will date girls with his last name,
what's his game?
A Tom Cruise cocktail
is risky business

Song For Superbad

Hey man, that's so funny
I think you should do it again
We should laugh all the time
so we never get sick & die
Girlfriends, they can only bring
all of our fun to an end
They'll keep us inside & they'll cry
as they turn us all into old men
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Good times, to be had while we're here
& we're all still alive
Much too soon boredom hits you so hard
you believe in its lies
Goodbye, as she leads me away
there's a tear in my eye
But I don't let it show
as we go & head into the rest of our lives
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Oh oh, oh oh
Hey hey, ooh ooh
Hey hey, ooh ooh

Que Pasa New York?
00:44
|
|||
I've got a question for this crazy city
why is the Mexican food here so shitty?
I guess I miss Texas in so many ways
but topping the list are those long Ruchi's stays
How hard can it be to make a burrit-oh
That don't taste like a pair of dirty feet-oh
Why can't someone here make me a tac-oh
that don't stink like some stiff, old smelly sock-oh
I'm gonna open my own taqueria
with cheap so good people cope with the 'rrhea
New Yorkers don't know what they're missing, it's true
but they know shitty food makes for shittier poos

Hey, it's party time
Summer of '69
We're all feelin' fine
Drinkin' hobo wine
But now it's lovin' time
so put your hand in mine
and we can feed the blind
in the warm sunshine

Now We Know We Know Now
05:32
|

Now that we know what we know now,
we're ready to take on the world and how
Now that we know what we knew then,
we're ready to take on our lives again
Uniting a kingdom,
a shoe made of gold.
A time-machine ride,
adventures untold!
The hat of a mason,
the crown of a king.
A president's smile,
a dope magazine!
Now that we know what we know now,
we're ready to take on the world and how
Now that we know what we knew then,
we're ready to take on our lives again
The tears of an angel,
the roar of a beast.
The whims of a child,
a magnificent feast!
A bad-ass machine-gun,
a super-fast car.
A well-written novel,
a sharp throwing star!
Now, I know sometimes it can feel
like the whole world is falling on you
I just want to make sure you know
that I've been there, too
So let's go to the top of the hill
give me another high-five
Where most men fall prey to their fears,
our spirits survive!
Now that we know what we know now,
we're ready to take on the world and how
Now that we know what we knew then,
we're ready to take on our lives again

The Wizard's Hat
01:25
|
|||
Skating down the street one day,
I stopped for something in the way
I took a closer look and found
the Wizard's hat lain on the ground
I put it on and within half an hour
rocking was one of my numerous powers
I cast a spell on the world and they saw
My rocking & rolling would leave them in awe
There was no one faster, there was no one better
the solo I played was a world-record setter!
Then I realized this was not me,
the hat created this falsity
I took it off, set it ablaze,
we're safe now from our greedy ways

Why does it,
why does it smell in my room?
I looked all over the place
all fucking day
and I can't find the source!
I looked all over the place,
every which way
and I can't find the source!

Alright
04:13

It can't feel too clean,
this routine's for bastards
Guilt is fun to eat,
plus it's cheap & faster
I can't fathom more,
but the door did shatter
Heart felt, give goodbyes
and in time fall backwards
on the actors
You can't be wrong if you're right
You can't be day if you're night
You can't be grounded in flight
You can't be sound if you're sight
I feel sick inside
but the lies keep rollin'
Building arrogance,
fading with the punch-bowlin
In this bubble-town,
babies drown while strollin'
They'd skip out of town
but the founder's controllin'
and assholin'
You can't be wrong if you're right
You can't be day if you're night
You can't be grounded in flight
You can't be sound if you're sight
You can't be black if you're white
You can't be loose if you're tight
If you can't be loose if you're tight,
you can't be wrong if you're right
But maybe you're wrong if you're right,
you could be wrong if you're right
Yeah, you might be wrong if you're right
You're possibly wrong if you're right
You should be wrong if you're right
You oughtta be wrong if you're right
You're probably wrong if you're right
There's no doubt you're wrong if you're right
The name of this song is 'Alright'
and that must be wrong, 'cause it's right
You could be right!

Leech man, leech man

I might break all my windows,
just to let out some steam
It's so hot when I wake up
that it's getting obscene
God, I've lost so much water,
probably all my percents
All that's left is a heatwave
and a room with no vents
Now I'm starting to see things,
they're mirages, I guess
There's a steak in my kitchen,
and a girl in a dress
So we eat & we talk some,
I forget all the sweat & the gloom
As we kiss in the sauna
that once was my room
When I wake up she's gone,
like a feather in the wind
And the holocaust summer
finally comes to its end
Now, it's safe to presume
that she's just in my head
But I'd like to assume
she's real somewhere instead
