I know, You think You always know what's best You think you're better than the rest Don't try, to change me Your mistakes are discrete You'll never ever admit defeat I hope your thoughts are better than your actions Ther'll come a day when you know of satisfaction Look in the mirror so it's clearer that you're not alone I'd figure i would let you know You Fall asleep with one eye open you'll never know what will happen in the next year I'll stay awake and never faulter whoa whoa whoa take this message as a souvenir People tell me, what it's like to taste some freedom I turn back cause I don't need them Failed from the start, things just drift apart now understand, all your sorrows gone with a sleight of hand You always thought you were the main attraction bargain with the devil it's a fatal transaction Look in the mirror so it's clearer that you're not alone I'd figure i would let you know You Fall asleep with one eye open you'll never know what will happen in the next year I'll stay awake and never faulter whoa whoa whoa take this message as a souvenir And I will never second guess, the best, or my best friends I'll stay awake and never faulter whoa whoa whoa take this message as a souvenir I'll never Change, I'll always stay the same And I'm to blame, I've already lost this game

It's not cool to play ska music because the third wave is done playing with horns and checkerboard and skipping around isn't fun Reel big fish and Less than jake should have split years ago But no, they insist on candy coated shit, and it's lame to play ska shows Don't you know that ska is dead and its not coming back That shit is gone for good so just sit back and relax Because ska musics dead And it may be such a dread but that music is for those Who are crazy in their head

From the moment when you first said hi i never wanted you leaving my life and every moment it was you and me was saving me from my tragedy called life! You made things great! We were destined, we were fate you could always put a smile on my face no matter how shitty seemed the case But then you got bored of me not after too long you moved on to track two and i was stuck singing the same song i completely stopped existing fading from your memory i never understood how could this be? You fell like an angel down into this world you picked up my entire life because you're one special girl and all the times it was you and me things went pretty swell But then you had to go and leave All's well that ends well well you meant every thing to me i guess i meant nothing to you i guess love is where we can't agree cause your feelings aren't ever true I don't need any lying ways i better without a broken heart i'm done wishing you could have stayed i wish i never met you in the start love came, and love had conquered it never changes it's all the same, it doesn't matter THIS WILL END RIGHT NOOOWWWWW You fell like an angel down into this world you picked up my entire life because you're one special girl But then you had to fuck me over things weren't all that swell and now you've come crawling back All's well that ends well Fuck you All's well that ends well Fuck you All's well that ends well FUUUUCK YOU BITCH

You sit at home and you start to think nothings wrong so I guess you'll stay the same but your other half starts to wonder, how you'll be if you try a bit harder Things start to slip away, but don't give up cause it's easier said then done your life has gone astray, it's not too late to look the other way Nothings wrong and I'm okay But I can't help think, my life has gone the wrong way Back when I was sixteen, life was great cause I had all the answers Now life couldn't be less fair and I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter I'm not sane in the head, but that's okay call me Mr. Mad Hatter Now life couldn't be less fair and I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter I'm out of bed now, I keep it discrete, the thought of doing something right sounds so lame to me But who's to blame, I've already lost this game and so I'm pissed and it does show ready to attack mode, call all my friends so we can start a band though I don't think that we can be unique, cause all the other bands just sound so sweet Nothings wrong and I'm okay But I can't help think, my life has gone the wrong way Back when I was sixteen, life was great cause I had all the answers Now life couldn't be less fair and I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter I'm not sane in the head, but that's okay call me Mr. Mad Hatter Now life couldn't be less fair and I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter HORN BREAK! Nothings wrong and I'm okay But I can't help think, my life has gone the wrong way Back when I was sixteen, life was great cause I had all the answers Now life couldn't be less fair and I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter I don't care cause I know it doesn't matter x2 But that's okay call me Mr. Mad Hatter x2 I don't care cause I know it doesn't matterx2

I remember back in those days where everything we had was made and we never had a single care in this world Just sit back and watch TV Living life when life was free Yeah those are days that I miss in this world Whatever happen to the way things used to be? when living life was fun and so care free That was the time, man, I really miss those days I remember so clearly, like it was yesterday Do this, do that, get off my back I’m sick of hearing all this crap I don’t think I can take one more day of this When did I have to meet all these responsibilities Someone come and take me to the days I miss Do this, do that, get off my back I’m sick of hearing all this crap I don’t think I can take not one more day when did I have to meet so many responsibilities Someone come and take me back to yesterday. And now I work that 9 to 5 and I never have the god damn time to do all the things that I love to do Can’t even find time to sleep cause payin’ rent sure aint cheap just take me back to yesterday, to me and you -bridge- what ever happened to sitting back all day long? Just playin’ games, chillin out, and singing songs That was the time, man, I really miss those days I remember so clearly, like it was yesterday

C'mon baby don't you worry, just skank with me Just enjoy the finer things in life, like this mango smoothie, girl No need to stress all the things in life. Just enjoy today baby baby baby no need to fret. Just skank your problems away can't you see yesterday is done, the past is in the past learn to forget all that's been done cause life moves way to fast sit back, relax, enjoy the view. And seize the day Just let all of your worries drift away

I get up To someone’s cruel joke that’s my reality And I stand up and face all of their bullshit mediocrity I was voted most likely for no one to care about me in high school And I never got the date to the dance or scored the winning point, I never got the chance To be somebody I never got the chance in high school I was always the best part of a running joke I never got the chance to be cool Slap a smile on my face, when deep down inside I felt broke I was scared of my friends End up using me in the end Yeah, they never had my back They would always end up hating me And who I’d turn out to be And things would just end like that Reality and what it’s done to me I need to breathe and get away from it all Today things will go my way It’s safe to say today is my day off! -Verse 2- There’s a ska show tonight for once I don’t have to give a shit just let it go and jump in the pit And everything just feels alright Skankin’ with the friends I’ve met So many shows and no regrets For once I’m on top of the world and skankin’ with that pretty girl they played that last song just for me I jumped off stage into the crowd then I threw down when the music got loud This is too good for reality -Chorus- Reality and what it’s done to me I need to breathe and get away from it all Today things will go my way It’s safe to say today is my day off!

Frustration, location, our lives are slowly changing Temptation, salvation, lost souls across the nation Could our hometown still be a part of us, it's safe to say that through the days to our dismay, its our time to get away But are we brave enough, to move along? Well I'd like to think I'm far from wrong These days just fade away, these years put to replay Well I'll leave another day It's your survival, while it's our hometown rival Make your arrival, or just go through the cycle Mutation, migration we're losing our foundation Relation, creation, down here we need translation Could our hometown still be a part of us, it's safe to say that through the days to our dismay, its our time to get away What keeps me strong, are things that don't belong Who knows what's right from wrong? These days just fade away, these years put to replay, I'll leave another day It's your survival, while it's our hometown rival Make your arrival, or just go through the cycle
