"Friends Chicks Guitars"

"Friends Chicks Guitars"


The weekend's finally here
And it's me and my bestest friends
Hit the town, put the week behind us
Rocking the same spots again and again
Feels like nothing will ever stop us
No rain or sleet or snow
Tonight there's not a cloud in the sky
Motley Crue outside on the stereo

We're always on a mission to finally get it right
The life of the party comes in bottles, cans, and pints
We talk about it, sing about it, sneak it onto planes
And every single week someone says the same thing

This has been a great night
No one got into a fight
Met some girls, saw a band
Everything went just as planned
The only thing that we forgot
Was stocking up by 12 o'clock
We'll never persevere
We've got friends, chicks, guitars, and no beer

We've been in this band
Longer than most of our fans have been
We get started up about 6 O'clock
And we go until most of us just can't stand
And it never ceases to amaze me
Just when things start to get good
Is this record on repeat right now?
Whoever hit the store must have misunderstood

We're always on a mission to finally get it right
The life of the party comes in bottles, cans, and pints
We talk about it, sing about it, sneak it onto planes
And every single week someone says the same thing

This has been a great night
No one got into a fight
Met some girls, rocked the show
Where'd the back-up stash go?
It's not the first time we forgot
To send someone by 12 o'clock
We'll never persevere
We've got friends, chicks, guitars, and no beer

We've got friends, chicks, guitars, and no beer.
No beer...

This could be the worst night ever
Is what we say every time
Maybe we should plan ahead
Or at least start drinking wine!

This has been a great night
No one got into a fight
Met some girls, saw a band
Everything went just as planned
The only thing that we forgot
Was stocking up by 12 o'clock
We'll never persevere
We've got friends, chicks, guitars, and no beer

We've got friends, chicks, guitars, and no beer [x3]

"Friends Like You"

"Friends Like You"


Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!

You know ya left the window open
And now the cat is gone
And my girlfriend says
you're really sweet what the hell is going on?
You never gave me back my leather jacket
And now it's out of style
And I warned you that that incense burner
Would set my house on fire

Now I'm not going to beat you up
Or drag you through the mud
I just want all my CD's back
In the cases with the artwork still intact
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
With friends like You-o-o-ou
Who needs friends?

Like when the guy put you in Reno,
Had a lawyer for a dad.
He got ours mixed up and sued my ass.
Man that was really cool
Of you to fix me up with a girl from work
That used to be a guy
When you lost all my money on the superbowl
It made me WANT TO CRY!
I'm not going to beat you up
or drag you through the mud
When the pending file sharing suit goes down
And why'd you need
The whole Metallica catalog anyway?
We haven't liked them for twelve years.
We like the Queers, we like beers
Stuck with Van Halen halfway through the Sammy year.
Now its over
YEAH!

You know ya left the back door open
AND NOW THE DOG IS GONE
And my girlfriend says you're really sweet
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?
And you never gave me back
My leather jacket and now it's outta style
I should have beat you
With your Birkenstock
When you set my house on fire!
FRIENDS LIKE YOU!
Who needs friends?
Friends like you!
Who needs friends?
With friends like You-o-o-ou, who needs friends?

"Friends O' Mine"

"Friends O' Mine"


Well it was ugly but we made it this far
Some have gone but I forget who they are
Now the hangovers are worse but we get through them fine
Sleeping late but were not lazy
Getting older but were still crazy
I’m so glad that I have these friends o mine
It started out at a coffee shop in a most unlikely town
And there were casualties but we made it out anyhow
We stuck together through the good and bad times
Pulp Fiction, Blazing Saddles, and Fast Times
I’m so glad that I have these friends o mine

And jobs girls and obstacles did all but break us down
Night clubs and broken vans in every major town
And I’ve got your back, you’ve got mine
Like Johnny Cash said “I walk the line”
And you can always count on me for one last beer

We saw the world and the world seemed smaller
Were getting wider but not getting no taller
I know we’ve grown up just a little lot of time
Were sleeping late but were not lazy
Were getting older but were still crazy
I’m so glad that I have these friends o mine
So glad that I have these friends o mine
So glad that I have these friends o mine

"From The Rooftops"

"From The Rooftops"


She hates my friends, my friends hate her
Takes all my time, makes me late for work
She’s got another guys name tattooed on her ass
My mom and dad say we’re moving too fast
She doesn’t like my band but the stickers on her car
She likes Star Trek but I prefer Star Wars
Kisses me deadly but she makes me alive
She’s the opposite of everything I need in my life

But when you know, you know

Have you ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops

I watch TV and she reads books
When bitches talk to me they get dirty looks from her
She really doesn’t mind when I drink my beer
And I really don’t care if she wears underwear
I rock all black and she can’t stand
That I dress like the dudes in Simple Plan
She’s all wrong, but it’s alright
She can be all wrong right by my side

Cause when you know, you know

Have you ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops

Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Follow your heart, fuck everybody else
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops
Ever been so in love
You wanna shout it from the rooftops, from the rooftops

"Get Happy"

"Get Happy"


She packed her shit and she left for the city
On the 8:10 train and I still can't believe it
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen
She slammed the door and she gave me the finger
And we fell so fast I still can't remember
You can read it yourself, it's all in the letter
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen

Maybe you're right
we've had a good time
I'll sit around, you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile and get happy

Heard your back did you find what was missing?
Was it just that easy or were you mistaken
Man, I don't even know how we could let this happen
I don't even know how we could let this happen

Maybe you're right
We've had a good time
I'll sit around you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile
And just let it shine tonight wherever you are
I hope there's a spot (hope there's a spot)
Save me a smile
And get happy, yeah
Happy, yeah
Happy, yeah

Maybe you're right
We've had a good time
I'll sit around you get yourself a new life
Go get your spot, go find your smile
And just let it shine tonight wherever you are
I hope there's a spot (hope there's a spot)
And save me a smile
And get happy
Get happy, yeah
Get happy, yeah

Packed her shit and she left me (find your smile)
Slammed the door and she gave me (find your smile)
Guess she's back in the city (find your smile)
Man, I just hope you're happy

"Girl All The Bad Guys Want"

"Girl All The Bad Guys Want"


8 o'clock, Monday night and I'm waitin'
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me.
Her name is Nona, she's a rocker with a nose ring,
She wears a two way, but I'm not quite sure what that means.

And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She doesn't notice me!

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

She likes the Godsmack and I like Agent Orange
Her cd changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She says she'd like to score some reefer and a forty
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have

And when she walks,
All the wind blows and the angels sing.
She'll never notice me!

Cause she is watchin' wrestling
Creamin' over tough guys
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

She likes 'em with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Drivin' in a Trans-Am
Does a mullet make a man?

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

There she goes again
With fishnets on, and dreadlocks in her hair
She broke my heart, I wanna be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked!

Now I am watchin' wrestling
Tryin' to be a tough guy
Listenin' to rap metal
Turntables in my eyes
I can't grow a mustache
And I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped...moped....moped.....

It's like a bad movie
She is lookin' through me
If you were me, then you'd be
Screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I fail miserably,
Tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.

She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
(There she goes again)
She's the girl all the bad guys want!
She's the girl all the bad guys want!

"Go To Bed Mad"

So hard (So hard)

And suddenly I forget
What we were fighting about

"Goodbye Friend"

"Goodbye Friend"


He told everybody goodbye
He had a look in his eye
Like this could be the last time
I knew you were feeling down
I wish that I had been around more
Could I have changed things
Maybe I could have changed things

And it's the rainy days
That mostly remind me

Goodbye friend
I hope you found
The answers you were looking for
Goodbye friend
I don't think that you ever knew
That there was someone here
There is someone here
Who misses you

You were my biggest fan
Together forever and then
So many things I should've known
You were always there to help me along
And always there to sing my song
I wish I had told you
Man I sure hope I told you

And it's the rainy days
That still remind me
Yeah it's the crazy, crazy days
I need you here

Goodbye friend
I hope you found
The answers you were looking for
Goodbye friend
I don't think that you ever knew
That there was someone here
There is someone here

Selfishly I'm mad at you
For making me feel like this
I wish I could talk to you
Like I used to
And tell you that sometimes I hate you
For doing this to the people
That loved you so
They look at me like I'm supposed to know
And then I'm told

So thank you for saying goodbye
And letting me know we're alright
I hope that I deserved that

Goodbye friend
I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
Goodbye friend
I don't think that you ever knew
Goodbye friend
I hope you found
The answers you were looking for
I don't think you ever knew
That there was someone here
There is someone here
Who misses you

Oh I miss you
God I miss you
I miss you

"Got Beat Up By A Girl"

"Got Beat Up By A Girl"


Some girl named Sally walked up
and asked me
"What's the story?"

I said it's something with inning
beginning and a plot
and she said "No!"
"I know you know!"
"And you know that I know you know!"
and I said "What?"
and she took the shot

I got beat up by a girl
with the right hook
straight out of Rocky
Tyson's got nothing
or maybe she got lucky
either way you lived that day
a thousand times
in my aching head

But my dad said
"Never hit a girl"
"And if you do then I'll whoop your ass"
how proud he'd be
if he'd seen me the day
I got beat up by a girl

I never even saw it coming
hey, does someone have
an aspirin
was I caught looking up her skirt
or was it someone that I did?

And I said

Wait!

Not in the face!

And then she punched me in the face
and kicked my nuts
I think she hates my guts

I got beat up by a girl
with the right hook
straight out of Rocky
Tyson's got nothing
or maybe she got lucky
either way you lived that day
a thousand times
in my aching head

You know I never lived it down
and I feel like such a...
fool
as I lay there on the ground
it was hard to keep it cool

But my dad said
"Never hit a girl"
"And if you do then I'll whoop your ass"
how proud he'd be
if he'd seen me the day
I got beat up by a girl
got beat up by a girl

And then one day
Junior High
in the corner of a cafeteria
listening to a stereo
on a walk
then munching on some rasin blend
was the Girl that kicked my butt
all the way to Pizza Hut
at least that's how she put it way back in

I said
hello

She said
F O!

I said "Let's put this in the past"
and then she whooped my ass
again

I got beat up by a girl
with the right hook
straight out of Rocky
Tyson's got nothing
or maybe she got lucky
either way you lived that day
a thousand times
in my aching head

You know I never lived it down
and I feel like such a...
fool
as I lay there on the ground
it was hard to look cool

But my dad said
"Never hit a girl"
"And if you do then I'll whoop your ass"
how proud he'd be
if he'd seen me the day
I got beat up by a girl
