"Shark Attack"


-Hey what's up?
-I'm having My friends over for dinner
-Who you having over for dinner?
-The Bouncing Souls
-The Bouncing Souls?
-Yeah The Bouncing Souls,
-Those fucking New Jersey mooches?
-They’re not mooches!
-Yes they are they only go on tours so they can eat other people’s food don’t you know that?
-I’m just making them dinner
-Well you better lock your god damn freezer I’ll tell you right now
-They don’t want anything in our freezer
-They’re scum I tell you right now they’re homeless people
-There not homeless they play in a band they played in France
-That’s the same thing!

Shark attack! shark attack! quarter pounders
and big macs
shark attack! shark attack! when we eat steaks our heads roll back.

Bouncing Souls are on your block
first we eat then we rock,
close your windows, lock your doors,
we like food better when it's yours.

Feeding frenzy at your mom's
just sit still and stay calm
it's too late you let us in
let the eating games begin!

Shark attack! Shark attack! Shark attack! Shark attack!

-See? I told you they’d eat every god damn thing in the house!
-Sorry!
-I hate the Bouncing Souls
-There’s no chicken or biscuits they ate all the Yoo-hoo
-Sorry!
-What the hell were you thinking?
-Sorry!
-Don’t ever invite them back!
-Sorry!
-Are you a moron?
-Sorry!
-Oh shit they’re coming back!
-No!!!!
[screams]

Shark attack! shark attack! quarter pounders
and big macs
shark attack! shark attack! when we eat steaks our heads roll back.

Feeding frenzy in the street,
drinking beer and eating meat,
when were hungry watch your back,
as we plan our next attack...

Shark Attack! Shark Attack! Shark Attack! Shark Attack!

"Ship In A Bottle"

"Ship In A Bottle"


Oh my good friend let's start something
Then throw it all out to the wind
How many mountains will we conquer?
We'll never know till we begin
Oh, begin

Oh my teacher what should I believe in
And how will I stay strong?
How many misfortunes will we conquer?
How will I carry on?
Oh, carry on

With every peak and valley
With every white knuckled fist
With everything I've lost and learned
I won't let go of this grip
With every storm we weather
I would never miss
I won't give up, I won't let go
I'm going down with the ship, oh

Oh my captain where are we going?
How many battles will we win?
How many brave souls will we lose to the deepest blue?
Will we see our home again?
Oh, home again

With every peak and valley
With every white knuckled fist
With everything I've lost and learned
I won't let go of this grip
With every storm we weather
I would never miss
I won't give up, I won't let go
I'm going down with the ship, oh

I'm going down with the ship
Whoa
I'm going down with the ship

Oh my good friend let's start something
Then throw it all out to the wind

"Simple Man"

"Simple Man"


I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again
In an endless cycle of joy and pain
Inside one day your whole life can change innocence torn away
Trust gives way to a thicker skin
A shield from pain? or a trap that keeps it all in.
They tried to break me down - I had to break away
I woke up from that night mare to start another day

I wanna be a simple man with a little peace of mind
Live a simple life, in a place that's kind

I see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again.
No poetry, No symmetry, nothing left inside of me
What happened to that feeling of invincibility?
Broken up caught under the load
Broken down by the side of the road
They tried to break me down I had to break away
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day....

"Sing Along Forever"

"Sing Along Forever"


I'm driving listening to my radio,
checkin out the airwaves for something to believe in,
gimme something to hold true,
gimme something to sing about.
Gimme a reason to care,
I'll sing along forever

Watered-down words covered in song
trying to hide the truth
That life is beautiful,
and life is pain
give it to me straight, touch my heart,
I'll sing along forever.
I'll sing along forever.
I'll sing along forever.

I'm driving listening to my radio,
checkin out the airwaves for something to believe in.
Gimme something to hold true,
gimme something to sing about.
Gimme a reason to care,
I'll sing along forever

Give it to me straight, touch my heart,
I'll sing along forever.

"Single Successful Guy"

"Single Successful Guy"


I’m beating down doors
Stumbling down the street
Dialing the telephone
Up all night, up all morning
Right here is my home
But I know I don't even have to try
I’m a single successful guy

Lonely with my friends
And lonely with my favorite girl
Lonely when I’m all alone if you're gonna talk I gotta listen
Because right here is my home
It’s easy I don't have to try
I’m a single successful guy

My ears are ringing loud
But I can't hear a sound

I'm carrying all I own and my heart is heavy in my chest
Right here is my home
It’s easy, I don't have to try
I’m a single successful guy
Single successful guy [x2]

"Smash It To Pieces"

"Smash It To Pieces"


A psychic said to me - (WHAT DID SHE SAY?)
She said, "You know I gotta a very special feeling,
That truth and freedom will break out today!"
(BREAK DOWN THE WALLS TODAY!)
"Cause there's a message in the cards- it reads:
Today's the day to break the fuckin' mold!
SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."

Paper to pen; yeah smash it all to pieces
Become a vehicle that blossoms thruth and freedom
Every city, every street, every town-
new pulse; heartbeat!

A vision came to me - (IN A DREAM?)
Not in a dream while sitting at the subway station
Waiting for the train to take me away
(FROM THIS WRETCHED DARK PLACE!)
It might have been an angel or a ghost -
I don't know?
But its message came through
shining crystal clear:
"SMASH IT TO PIECES,
while singing 1,2... 1,2,3,4..."

There's not a name you can assign it
More than a movement
it's the fabric that makes up a human being
There's nothing stupid but love,
caring, peace instead of guns
So now we've got to
take to that message to the streets!
Through our art, through our hard work,
get on your feet!

"So Jersey"

"So Jersey"


The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon
He walked in his parents footsteps on his way home from school
Those ties that were so sweet, also burned under his feet
Now he's ready to walk a path that is new and he can't turn back

He can't turn back
He can't turn back

Burning through the crowds, he made it out alive
Betting everything on himself tonight

Tonight

She's driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon
She's driving down the same old roads her parents took her through
Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time
She's turning down a road that is new and she can't turn back

No, she can't turn back
She can't turn back

Stepping through the darkness, into the light
Betting everything on herself tonight

Tonight

Stepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow
The skeleton of this old town feels like it's coming alive
Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce
These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing up

And we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives
Forgive ourselves for all those lies
Send some love to all the lonely
Don't forget we're all one family
Thanks to the music in our lives for helping us to survive
Lost in one lonely dream, born to run and live free

The sun shines brightly on us this afternoon
Walking in our own footsteps, we search for something more

And we can't turn back
No, we can't turn back
We can't turn back

Stepping through the darkness, into the light
We're betting everything, we're betting everything
We're betting everything, on ourselves tonight

Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight

"Some Kind Of Wonderful"

"Some Kind Of Wonderful"


Sometimes I think about girls and it's funny it makes me stay inside when it's sunny things are pathetic when I'm this way assing the days and pining away it's easy to see and it's easy to say when I see people everyday but the days go by and I think and try to conjure away to find me a girl that makes the problems go away passing the days and pining away things are pathetic when I'm this way and I can see that no one is perfect why do I do this to myself

"Sounds Of The City"

"Sounds Of The City"


The sounds of the city
Somehow they comfort me
On lonely mornings like this

Is someone out there like me?
Walking their own lonely street?
Walking their own lonely street?

The sounds of the city
Somehow they comfort me
On lonely mornings like this

This emptiness inside, loneliness I fear
In this pain I'm not alone
In this city that is my home
In this city that is my home
In this city that is my home

One lonely heart reaching out to you
One strength to see us through
And yell together this one goes out to you

We are not alone
In this city that is our home
In this city that is our home
In this city that is our home
In this city that is our home

"Spank"

"Spank"


I woke in the night Looking around there was no familiar sight Where could i be in some long gone place far away where life never drags In the heat of excitement that's where I am nervous nervous but lost Lost in the moment Leaving the grind behind It felt good to leave it behind One second of relief one second my heart leaped I was alive and ready to dive off of the diving board Ready for anything where am I now I don't care cause i'm gone Long gone from the grind of life In that one second i knew it was all in my mind My room was dark it was just the same no challenge there to meet No new life but that's o.k. the grind is mine to live today ...it felt good to leave it behind
