"Well I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight,"
She said, but it's too late.

And I don't remember what I read
Don't remember what they said
I guess it doesn't matter
I guess it doesn't matter anymore

'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give 'em all your money
The radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool
I just don't believe it

Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's only give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be
Alright

No more flippin' burgers
Puttin up my silly hat
You know I don't want that no more
And I didnt ask when we get paid
Quit my day job anyway
I guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore

'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give 'em all your money
The radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool
I just don't believe it

Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's only give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be

And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
'Cause the man said that's the way it is
And the man said,
"It don't get better than that."
No, no, no

So I signed on to the record company
They said they're gonna gimme lots of money
If I play what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool
and I should believe it

Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's only give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be
Alright

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
The record company
Is gonna make everything alright

"Baby don't you sign that paper tonight," she said,
But I can't work in fast food all my life.

i just couldn't believe it,
when i turned on
the radio, try to run, try to
hide, try to keep it inside,
they were playin' that song
and i thought about her
snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
so much trouble in the LBC
livin' without her's gonna drive me
crazy...she's so

don't you just wanna kill me, cause you're talkin'
behind my back, well i love the band. they're a
great bunch of guys, but lookin' at her brings
tears to my eyes, i'm watchin' her shake
she gonna give a heart attack now, baby
snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
maybe i don't want her back, you know?
maybe i just can't let her go...i'm so

well i, turn the radio off...
i don't want no part, try to make me a big star?
i don't wanna be a big star.
everybody's mad they wanna kick me in the head
was it somethin' i did, was it somethin' i said?
i would try to tell you but i just don't
wanna lie
it really shouldn't matter but it
makes me wanna
cry, i wish i didn't care, i
wish i didn't care...
but i do. snoop doggy dog
(she said) snoop doggy dog
please don't tell me it'll be
ok cause i know
i'll never never never get my
way...
and so.

. . .


(1-2-3-4... woo hoo hoo hoo... woo hoo hoo hoo...)
She called me late last night,
To say she loves me so,
It didn't matter anymore,
I say she never cared and that she never will,
I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer.

She called me late last night, to say she loved me so,
But I guess you changed her mind.
Well I should have known it wouldn't be all right,
But I can't live without her
So I won't even try...

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin' well, you know
That you're my friend and I say,
I think I'll have myself a beer.

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say.
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do,
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
Said she'd do it all again, she'd
Promise not to tell!

And if I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more (she said!)
It's ok boy cause you know we'll be good friends
And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer.
I think I'll have myself a..

Wooooah oooooh oooooh woah...
Wooooah oooooh oooooh woah...
Wooooah oooooh oooooh woah...
Yeah yeah yeah!
Woo hoo hoo hoo,
Woo hoo hoo hoo.

There's a ska band on my street
A little ska band
Everybody thinks that they're so fuckin' neat
There was nothin' on the radio
Gonna make my own band
Play my own shows but that don't work
So I'm givin' up again

She said she loved me 'cause I played guitar
That's okay, I didn't love her at all and I say
I'm givin' up because

I know everything sucks yeah
I know everything sucks whoa
I know everything sucks yeah
And this is gonna be the last time
You hear me complain

Well, I went down
To the show
Everybody was there
I didn't wanna go
'Cause everything they do is so fuckin' cool
Every song is a hit and the girls like 'em too
I can't do that so I'm givin' up again

I don't know why I learned to play guitar,
Nobody's gonna know who we are and I say
I'm givin' up because

I know everything sucks yeah
I know everything sucks whoa
I know everything sucks yeah
And this is gonna be the last time
You hear me complain

She said some day
We'll get back together maybe
She said some day
Things'll be much better baby
But i don't believe her
And i don't think i need her anymore
Yeah yeah yeah!

Because, I know everything sucks yeah
I know everything sucks whoa
I know everything sucks yeah
And this is gonna be the last time
You hear me complain

What ever happened to Suburban Rhythm?
Why did Ed and Scott quit? (What's up with the boots on ya feet?)
Please don't go, Suburban Rhythm
All the other bands are just shit

A Reel Big Fish en de la mer
Because they sign the record company, they gonna get paid
I say they mess up all the lyrics and they got no style
Say, they're gonna get it right, but it might take a while
So-a, don't touch that dial

I've never been told if we're that good
And I said I'd never, never play with a ska band again
I guess I - never showed up (Up, up)

So what ever happened to Suburban Rhythm?
Why did Ed and Scott quit? (Yo, Dre would you please drop some gangsta shit?)
Please don't go, Suburban Rhythm
All the other bands are just shit (You said it)

. . .


Watchin' you sleep, I'm lookin' in your window
And everyday I drive past your house
Standin' in your front yard, why don't you come out?
Watchin' you sleep (Oh-o), nowhere to hide (Whoa-o-o)
One of these days I'm gonna come inside

Must be love, what else could it be?
Fuck you bitch I, love you; I'm not crazy

Walkin' up to her, now she's walkin' away
I just wanna talk to you
Maybe she's got better things to do
Don't be afraid (Oh-o) to feel my touch (Whoa-o-o)
Don't worry babe I won't hurt you much

Must be love, what else could it be?
Fuck you bitch I, love you; I'm not crazy

I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna make you love me
No matter what you say
(Here I come)

Must be love, what else could it be?
Fuck you bitch I, love you; I'm not crazy

Must be love, what else could it be?
Must be love, what else could it be?
Must be love, what else could it be?
Must be love (Fuck you)

. . .


why can't she make up her fucking mind
i'm just here wasting so much time
i know it's my fault
it's not my problem anymore

someday
maybe she'll come back to me
and i'll say
why don't you go fuck yourself
but everybody's talking
they know that i'm lying
she gave me everything
all i want is more

yeah, i wrote this song for her
but it won't make up for anything
i know it's too late, so why do i wait?
it's not my problem anymore

someday
maybe she'll come back to me
and i'll say
why don't you go fuck yourself
but everybody's talking
they know that i'm lying
she wont do anything
I'll always wait for her

(cool guitar solo)

someday
maybe she'll come back to me
and i'll say
why don't you go fuck yourself
but everybody's talking
they know that i'm lying
she gave me everything
all i want is more
all i want is more! more! (many times is repeated)

(Sorry.)

Every time I try so hard I get nothin', nothin'
They say "Try and you won't fail," I get nothin', nothin'
I did all that I could; I got nothin', nothin'
Tried so hard for nothin', nothin'

I never wanted it that way
Guess there was nothing I could say
I don't know what I want but I know I don't want this
I give up, I give in
I know I'm never gonna win, 'cause

Every time I try so hard I get nothin', nothin'
They say "Try and you won't fail," I get nothin', nothin'
I did all that I could; I got nothin', nothin'
Tried so hard for nothin', nothin'

I know it's really not your fault
I'm going to blame you anyway
You say your sorry but I know it won't do no good
I give up, I give in
I know I'm never gonna win, 'cause

Every time I try so hard I get nothin', nothin'
They say "Try and you won't fail," I get nothin', nothin'
I did all that I could; I got nothin', nothin'
Tried so hard for nothin', nothin'
Go

I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care anymore

i don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care anymore

(It's gonna be all right)
I don't fuckin' care (It's gonna be all right)
I don't fuckin' care (It's gonna be all right)
I don't fuckin' care anymore (It's gonna be all right)
(One, two, three, four)

Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care anymore"

Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care anymore"

Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care"
Said "I don't fuckin' care anymore"

All the vegans in the house (all the vegans, all the vegans)
All the vegans in the house (all the vegans, all the vegans)

She's not eatin' bacon, not eatin' sausage
And she won't eat eggs
Not eatin' chicken, not eatin' turkey
She won't have a steak

But I just can't help feelin' sorry
For this poor little lettuce head
You know, I can't stop cryin'
'Cause I know this broccoli's dead

Vegetarian?
I'm not a vegetarian
Vegetarian
She's a - vegetarian

Poor little cow, little sheep, little fish, how can I sleep?
When carrots are bleedin', plants are screamin' and tomatoes cry
You say "It's not so bad, they're only vegetables," that's what you said
Maybe I'm a murderer, but I'm hungry and they're better off dead

Vegetarian?
I'm not a vegetarian
Vegetarian
She's a

Save a plant, eat a cow
I want beef, I want it now
I'm gonna eat it 'cause it's red
I'm gonna eat it 'cause it's dead
Maybe I should eat it raw
Let the blood run down my jaw
I'd eat people if it was legal
I'd eat people if it was legal

Aw

. . .


Everybody's lookin' at me, thought I saw my face on MTV
A magazine that she won't read
Stole her heart, but it's not my fault
Lookin' at my picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yeah

I'll never be - a rock-and-roll star
I'll never be - anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy - can't get away
Somebody tell me - when do we get paid?

Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought by now I'd be on MTV
Or a magazine, like "Seventeen" or "Rolling Stone'"
And I won't be alone with your - money in my pocket
And my face on your T-shirt, yeah

I'll never be - a rock-and-roll star
I'll never be - anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy - can't get away
Somebody tell me - when do we get paid?

But I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, every day, every day
Said I'll never be, a rock-and-roll star
I'll never be - anything, anything at all

. . .


Well, I see you up on stage and I
Don't know just what you're sayin'
But you're my hero, wah-oh-oh

But a guy just kicked me in the head
A little girl just passed out dead
I'm in between a big jock and a sweaty skinhead
But I love you - whatever that means

But I don't wanna talk to you
'Cause I know I'd just say some thing stupid
And I know you've got better things to do

Hey, little alternative girl
Said don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs for you
And it's all right if you don't understand

Well, maybe I shouldn't be so serious
Tellin' you that everything sucks
'Cause I don't wanna bring you down

But it never, never works out right
I'm gonna lose, give up the fight
I won't get what I want, won't get anything
But I love you - whatever that means

And they don't wanna talk to me
'Cause they know what I'll turn out to be
I said I was cool but I can't lie to you

Hey, little alternative girl
Said don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs for you
And it's all right if you don't understand

And I don't wanna start again
'Cause I know it'll be the same in the end
I didn't like it the first time anyway

Hey, little alternative girl
Said don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs for you
And it's all right if you don't understand

Damn
