I went down to the Jersey Shore, and I grew my hair out long
And when, there, met a hot beach babe, and I began to play her this song
and it went
Summer Time, Care Free
Forgetting about reality
Having fun, cause school is done
I think (or want) I have become a beach bum
I learned how to surf the dawn patrol, I learned how to skate
I was so cool; I could kick sand into some nerd’s face
But when she left me, it all fell through
She ran off with another guy, and moved down to Peru
And I sing
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Now I live at the Jersey shore
Dafalagashasaflafalagore
David Hasselhoff is my God
You might find it strange, you might find it odd
Now I live in the back of a van, smoke weed like Shaggy, you know stick it to the man
Never shower, I wear flip flops, I sold all own to a pawn shop
I want to be a beach bum
Like Jerry Spicoli
Cut jeans, Tank top, I want that girl to sit on my cock
Tight jeans, crop top, gonna wear my hair down like a mop
Cause I wanna, wanna be
Cause I am, and I will be a beach bum

It Won't Last
03:01

Watching Jaws alone at the theater
My only friends are my music speakers
I can't explain my feelings and I don't know why
Ah screw it, I gotta learn to get by
Chorus:
The many years have gone by fast
I wonder what exactly will last
I gotta know if I wasted my time
If someone could tell me, if you could tell me, then I'd be fine
I have a lot of friends but I still feel alone
I'm gonna go and masturbate to my phone
Whoa what will it bring
I got this song that I can sing
Chorus:
The many years have gone by fast
I wonder what exactly will last
Oh what will the future bring
Rejection can hurt worse than a bee sting
Bee sting, Bee Sting, oh oh oh oh yeah yeahy yeah
(Kazoo Solo)
Chorus:
The many years have gone by fast
I wonder what exactly will last
Oh what will the future bring
Rejection can hurt worse than a bee sting

Yeha I'm done with punk, I'm in country now!
I have no reason for conversation
I want to go commit crime
Not to be bad or to hurt someone
Just to waste some time
We'll go to the corporations
And we'll steal from side to side
Then when we've had our fill
Away in our charts, we will ride
Chorus:
Let's go down to the supermarket, we'll clean off the shelves
Let's go down to the supermarket, we'll go burn it down
Once the places closes at night
We'll sneak in around the back
We'll pick it clean like chicken
Steal, pillage, and ransack
We don't even need a reason
We don't need to know why
But when we've had our fill
Away in our carts we will ride
Chorus:
Let's go down to the supermarket, we'll clean off the shelves
Let's go down to the supermarket, we'll go burn it down
Hey let's go rob, Hey let's go rob, Hey let's go rob the supermarket
Hey let's go rob, Hey let's go rob, Hey let's go rob the supermarket

Coffee Shop Joe

Coffee Shop Joe works from six to three
Never had a real job, sits in the back making tea
Everybody likes him, the nicest of guys
Always sitting there with his unpolished eyes
Chorus:
You don't know Coffee Shop Joe x1
Coffee Shop Joe has many dreams
Hauling the sacks, grind and roast the beans
Charles Manson is his God
You may find it strange, you may say its odd
Chorus:
You don't know Coffee Shop Joe x2
His face consumed by facial hair
The future is what makes him scared
And he's got nothing better to do
Than sit around and sniff some glue
He sniffs lots of glue x2
He sniffs all the glue
Chorus:
You don't know Coffee Shop Joe x4

Chorus:

You are my queen
You got nothing to fear
So grab my hand
You got nothin to fear

Hey mukalana, hey mukalana hey mukalana
Why don't you tell me your name

Why should I care?
Why should I care?
I often wonder what he is thinking
Has he ever heard a word I've said?
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head?
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!
What is happening in his head
Ohhh I wish I knew, I wish I knew
Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Tommy, can you hear me? x5
How can he be saved?
Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently,
And unaware of everything.
Playing poxy pin ball, picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything.
I believe in love, but how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured, will his spirits future level
Ever heighten.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.
How can he be saved?
From the eternal grave.
You are forgiven (a lot)

A Song for a Friend
02:27
|

Its all over the time has come
We laugh, we cried, we had some fun
But now as we go our separate ways
Did anything matter anyway
Four years of trust just to say
The cig is out in the ashtray
Leaving you with out delay
Chorus:
You let me down, down, down
Won't see you around, round, round
You lived a lie for everyone
No one mattered in the long run
But you never cared for me
Ya ditched us I should have seen
But that the way it works ya see
People come and then they leave
Real friends a rare commodity
Chorus:
You let me down, down, down x2
In the night
I doubt myself
Bout how you leave with no regrets
Cause you are caught up in what matters less
Chorus:
You let me down, down, down x4

Nowhere Man (electric)

I am the Nowhere Man, thats all I can for see
I got nobody looking out for me
I can't worry about the far away pesky things
All I can worry about is when that school bell rings
La la la la la la la la laaaaaa honey
Oh way oh way oh way oh way ohh baby
I can't even begin to look to my future with hope
When I had wasted four years on porn, and music, and dope
I think that I will be a Nowhere Man
Forget about my friends and my dreams and be a bitter older man
Marty and Doc Brown in their Delorean
Can't go back and fix my mistakes oh wo wo wo
But that's how it goes I guess
Business CEO's and nowhere men
I have alcohol to mend
It always comes back in the end
La la la la la la la la laaaaaa honey
Oh way oh way oh way oh way ohh baby
Why does it seem like the most important decisions in my life
Weren't buying a car, a house, or even choosing a wife, no
No in fact, it feels pretty damn unfair
That the most important decisions in life were made before I can grow this facial hair
Marty and Doc Brown in their Delorean
Can't go back and fix my mistakes oh wo wo wo
I am the nowhere man x3
No one will remember
Please god, try to remember
Please God remember the nowhere man

Will Anyone Care?
04:49
|

I see you sitting right next to me
You make me higher, than I should ever be
I wish that you, could always stay
Watching horror movies, wasting the days away
Chorus:
I tried, oh lord I tried, I tried for you
And as time keeps moving on
Should I do something or just get gone
Will anyone notice, will anyone care?
When I'm gone and in someone else's hair.
Chorus:
I tried, oh lord I tried, I died with you
I tried, oh lord I died, I will always love you
You baby
And when it ends, will anyone miss me
And when its over, will anyone miss me
Chorus:
I tried, oh lord I tried, I will miss you
I tried, oh lord I die, I always did love you
Forever and ever
The future's uncertain
We're turning to ash
I don't know about you
but I'm having a blast
The triumphs, the mistakes, the things through the years
Oh dear God, I think I'm shedding a tear
The people who were kind I will truly miss
The people who were assholes, I hope you are pissed
I've never held back except for good-bye
But tomorrow I have to fly away
