Two lovers are havin' their fight again
They're tired of sayin' goodbye
Standin' on the beach side
Listenin' to the feet of the passers
On the sidewalk there
Don't make me part of your life again
'Cause I'm tired of sayin' goodbye
Ridin' on my skateboard
Knockin' all the pretty boys in my way
'Cause I'm just a round kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
Just a round kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
You ask me if I'm real or not
But what is real or not
Am I completely right
Or am I just lost and misguided?
There is somethin' you oughta know
What is real or not
That there is nothin' wrong
So don't tell me I need any counselin'
I'm just a round kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
I'm just a round kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
Nobody knows
Bring it on
Just a round kid, just a round kid
I'm just a round kid, just a round kid
Just a round kid, just a round kid
Two lovers are havin' their fight again
They're tired of saying goodbye
Standin' on the beach side
Listenin' to the feet of the passers
On the sidewalk there
Don't make me part of your life again
'Cause I'm tired of saying goodbye
I'll be ridin' on my skateboard
Knockin' all the pretty boys in my way
'Cause I'm just a round kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
'Cause I'm just a round f*cking kid
Causing mass hysteria
And I know something nobody knows
Body knows, body knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Not long ago, there was a time
When everything would blow my mind
Then I'd learn a bit more, learn a bit more
It canceled everything I learned before
Said, ?Hey, I don't know what I'm doing?
Should I plan on my class reunion?
I've been working on the vision of clarity
This is how it boils down to me
Well, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, is possible to me
Well, was nineteen, I thought I'd seen
Everything I was gonna see
Then I'd see a bit more, see a bit more
Canceled everything I'd seen before
Said, ?Hey, I thought I knew it all?
I was setting up for a hell of a fall
Writing down my philosophy songs
There's one that still holds strong
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, yeah, is possible to me
With everyday that goes by
The less and less, I wonder why
'Cause I've seen 'em rise and I've seen 'em fall
But I'll never claim to have seen it all
I said, ?Hey, I ain't seen a thing?
You never know what tomorrow will bring
Been working on a state of mind
Brace yourself for the ride
'Cause anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Said, anything is possible
Yeah, anything and everything
Anything and everything
Is possible, is possible, is possible
Is possible to me, to me, to me, to me
I don't mean to blow you off I never even thought to call you When i saw you yesterday You said everything was fine And all this laughing Means i'm running away Cause things we have are f*cked And the things we had are gone
Sometimes it takes so long to wake up What's the matter with my life anyways?
Friends around me like to talk I guess they want to know If i'm gonna get a job Or if i'm gonna sleep 'til noon All these people need to keep their mouth shut Cause in the end the choice is mine You never heard me asking you
Don't want to play a part I'm living in living
So i guess i know Who my friends really are All those times it came to stealing You never let me go that far And then you told me not to smoke it But i did And it took me far away, yea it took me far away
Well, don't you shut that door
Don't you leave so soon
You wanna know where I've been
Well, I'll tell you the truth
I've seen it all before
None of this is new to me
None of this is new to me
You said that things had changed
And everything was alright
You would wish I was cool
And I'd wish you were nice
Behind your innocent face
Filled with guilty delights for me
Filled with guilty delights for me
With such an innocent life
With such an innocent mind
You get caught when you try to lie
Your whole life has been gentrified
Do you know what I mean?
You had secrets to hide
You think I'd never find out
You said your lips were sealed
And then you'd open your mouth
This ain't a question of guilt
This is a question of doubt in you
This is a question of doubt in you, yeah
You want the world on a platter
Want your friends on a string
You want them all to matter
Want them down on their knees
They'll give you what you've dreamed of
But it's not what you need
No, it's not what you need
With such an innocent life
With such an innocent mind
You get caught when you try to lie
Your whole life has been gentrified
Do you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
With such an innocent life
With such an innocent mind
You get caught when you try to lie
Your whole life has been gentrified
Do you know what I mean?
Pretty soon now
You know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash
I'll speak to the masses through the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash
Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile
CHORUS:
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo
Kung Fu, that was one of my good ones
Well what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good clean fun
Skateboards, I've almost made them respectable
You see I can't always get through to you
So I go for your son
I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Did ja looka looka lookit alla blood
So give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile
CHORUS
Right now, I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune, but I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin to a pork pie hat
Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
So baby we should get along fine
So give me all your money
Cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing
Can't you see me smile
On the freeway, all the cares have stopped
'Cause the big news has dropped
All the phones are ringing
It's got all the neighbors singing
Police chief is calling the detectives
Navy SEALs are being selected
President is calling his advisors
Greenpeace is putting out flyers
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
Everybody's got to know
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
She can't complain to no one
There's a news break, for everybody watching
Jennifer has just started coughing
The doctors can't explain it
"How did she ever obtain this?"
All her friends are sending get well cards
"You could beat it, just gotta fight hard"
All the world is sitting home waiting
All the priests are singing and praying
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
Everybody's got to know
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
She can't complain to no one
SWAT Team has Jennifer surrounded
Coast guard takes her to an island
Out there, no one gets infected
Jenny lives where she can be protected
United Nation emergency meeting
Declares the whole world is grieving
And peace will come if Jenny just gets well
Please come home soon
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
Everybody's got to know
We've got ourselves a little situation
It's worse than an alien invasion
Jennifer has got a cold and
Everybody's got to know
Oh no, not again, please tell me, I'm wrong
It's been ten minutes since they played this song
Or is it the band with the one word name?
I get so confused, it all sounds the same
The DJ must think I'm crazy
Or maybe just an idiot
Last week he was spinning country
Now alternative rock's the shit
Just who do they think they're fooling
With this backwards regiment
They shove it so far down your throat
It's swallowed with an English accent
What happened to my radio?
It used to be cool but now it just blows
What happened to my radio?
It's the same old song, the same old, same old
I've been waiting more than an hour
For the request that I just made
"We'll see what we can do about it"
Must mean, they're gonna throw away
They say that they play new music
That it's better than the rest
Switch the channel, it's a carbon copy
Take the cutting edge and slit my wrists
What happened to my radio?
It used to be cool but now it just blows
What happened to my radio?
It's the same old song, with the same old, same old
Happened to my radio?
Used to be cool but now it just blows
What happened to my radio?
Used to be cool but now it just blows
Who has all the luck? Who has all the fans?
They make a million bucks and burn it in your hands
Who has all the luck? Who has all the fans?
They tell you that you're f*cked, but you don't understand
What happened to my radio?
It used to be cool but now it just blows
What happened to my radio?
The same old song, with the same old, same old
What happened to my radio?
It used to be cool but now it just blows
What happened to my radio?
It's the same old song, with the same old, same old
Same old, same old
Oh no, not again, please tell me, I'm wrong
It's been ten minutes since they played this song
Or is it the band with the one word name?
I get so confused, it all sounds the same
Well, Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
He only left a picture
Of a seventh grade smile
Well, he got caught in between
A mother's lost hope
And a father's lost dream
A head of ideas
That don't mean anything
That don't mean anything
Well, Tommy had a problem
With being alone
He spent everyday
Of his life on his own
But there's no one to blame
It's hard to keep friends
When you keep moving away
The cards and letters
They don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
Tommy stepped away
From the world for awhile
His first few steps
It felt like a mile
They never could believe
He said good-bye
And they just watched him leave
All the things he knew
Don't mean anything
They don't mean anything
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
You can always come home
You can always come home
You can always come home to me
And if you go too far
You might never come back
And I might go too far
But I won't ever some back
And when you go, I'll wait for you
And when you go, I'll be there too
And when you go, you go
You go, you go
When you're gone, you're gone
You're gone, you're gone
And if you feel you can't go on
Said, if you feel you can't go on
I got the tunes in my pocket
In an old ass walkman
Walk to the beach with a bottle of black and tan
Keys in the velcro where it always should be
Time's tickin by but it doesn't concern me
I'm killin time with nothin to do yea
It's all I seem to think about or do
My soul is sound when I'm in my hometown yea
And no place I'd rather be
(chorus)
My town, my street
Gives me piece of mind that can't be beat yea
My town, my street
Gives me piece of mind that can't be beat
Gives me piece of mind that can't be beat
Well I can sleep all night to the sound of the ocean
Wake up in the mornin and I do it all again
7 days a week I pay no attention
I spend a lot of time with my record collection
I'm killin time with nothin to do yea
It's all I seem to think about or do
My soul is sound when I'm in my hometown yea
And no place I'd rather be
(chorus)
I hear the sound of a skateboard rollin down my backstreet
Raggae music comin from the neighbor across from me
As time ticks by, as time ticks by
I never stop to ask and never wonder why
As time ticks by, as time ticks by
I never stop to ask and never wonder why
My soul is sound when I'm in my hometown yea
No place I'd rather be
I realize I'm hungry
I recognize the pain in my gut
I don't know where it comes from
Or what I'm gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
Souplantation, Fosters Freeze
In-N-Out or Chuck E. Cheese
Burger King or Taco Bell
All these restaurants sound so well
And that's what I'm gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
Hamburger Helper on those days
And when I sit home and f*cking laze
And when my budget is kind of low
There's only so many good places to go
And that's what I'm gonna do about it
This little pain inside my tiny tummy
