Lifers (3000 Weeks)
04:47
|
|
||
I remember how it all began
Two feet of snow outside my window
I had some songs and I had a plan
Plug into my tape and go man go
All these years later I still have that tape
Music proved to be my great escape
I was born 3000 weeks ago
I saw 'em back when they still had Jello
I'm a lifer, I will never stop
And I don't care if I don't hit the top
I may be older but I'm lovable
I'll carry on while I'm still capable
And all my friends still do it!
Gonna keep on playin' rock and roll
As long as I still have the use of my hands
Today's music ain't got no damn soul
That's why I still play in this here band
Oh come on, you say, you're old, grow up
My answer's still the same, shut the fuck up!
There's lots of us, I'm not the only one
And we won't stop till our last song is sung
We are lifers, we will never change
It doesn't matter if you think we're strange
We may be old but we're still young at heart
We'll carry on while we still have heart
And all our friends still do it!

Agua Fresca

Agua fresca, agua fresca
Agua fresca, agua fresca
Get it at that big bodega
Where the folks are Mexican
Gotta get me some Jarritos
And some spicy tamarind
Agua fresca, agua fresca
Agua fresca, agua fresca
Get it when I jam with Cesar
Pina colada for the win
Pick me up some Rancheritos
And don't forget the Duvalin
Agua fresca, agua fresca
Agua fresca, agua fresca
Get it at that big bodega
Where the girls are hot as sin
Pick me up some Pulparindo
And don't forget the Duvalin
(Duvaliiiiiiiin!)

Rock In My Shoe
02:57
|
|

There's a rock in my shoe
And it's all because of you
There's a rock in my shoe
And I'm wearing concrete shoes
Because of you
All because of you
All because of you
"Road closed for construction"
Read the sign blocking off your street
I couldn't stop my car in time
With concrete on my feet
Colliding with the pavement
Hours later I come to
Splashing mineral water on my face
I see it's you
There's a rock in my shoe
And it's all because of you
I shoulda seen the traffic jam
That led straight to your house
With all your closest friends up front
I felt just like a mouse
Somehow I knew I'd get there
After they'd taken all the loot
Try though I might I can't get
This rock out of my foot
There's a rock in my shoe
And it's all because of you
I wake up on the side of the road
And I pull up both my socks
The road's so hot I step into
A pool of igneous rock
I came to you to find my mind
But I've lost the damn thing instead
You won't explain why it's this way
And it's got me seeing red
There's a rock in my shoe
And it's all because of you

Take Me Back To June
01:57

Take me back to June
Take me back to the moon
Take me back to June
Take me back to the moon
I left my heart in Rodgewood
Or was it Bushwick town?
I've got to find a time machine
Before this world turns brown
I cry for those who left us
Without a goodbye kiss
But then I think they're lucky
When I think of what they've missed
The clock had struck at midnight
Their lips were tightly pressed
The father gave the signal
And the pitbull did the rest

Eclipse
03:31
|
|
||
The sky is turning color black
The moon is covering the sun
The lights are going away
Away!
Eclipse is comin' like disease
It brings darkness and we all scream
The lights are going away

Let's Start A Rumor 2024
01:42
|
|
||
Let's start a rumor! Let's start a rumor!
Let's start a rumor! Let's start a rumor!
Spread some nasty story
And watch the people fall for it
In reality there's no truth to it, not one bit!
Tell 'em there's bugs and worms
In the fast food that they eat
Watch 'em get sick and throw up
It'll be real neat
Tell 'em there's spider eggs
In the gum that they're chewing
Make something up
About everything they enjoy doing
Let's start a rumor
And see how stupid you are
Let's start a rumor
They'll believe it near and far
