Daniel Kelly Some Pretty fun modern ska music. Surprised at how few people have bought this album, because it really is good. I often forget this isn't popular music because it sounds like it is. Favorite track: Hypertension.

Ugly old banana sparks and lemonade I say anything I wanna but I don't get paid Trailer trash and gavel bags catch my braids I might track these old guitars again they're out of phase Oh and You know I wanna Believe me benihana I say anything I wanna Because nobody's listening You know I wanna Believe me benihana I say anything I wanna Because nobody's listening And I look better when I'm naked And you can find out for yourself You're still not hearing what I'm saying So why the fuck should I write any of this down, oh I don't mean to be so critical it's not my place And everything's so out here I can't feel my face And who would waste their precious time on bullshit things I say There are better uses of your time and those I'll name You could play like, basketball, or badminton, you could walk your dog or spend more time with your mother or your grandmother, you can do whatever you want. It's really up to you. I still look better when I'm naked And you can find out for yourself And if you're hearing what I'm saying It's probably good that I still wrote all of this down, oh I still look better when I'm naked And you can find out for yourself And if you're hearing what I'm saying It's probably good that I still wrote all of this down, oh

I wanna crash this plane yes that would make me happy I don't want this song to sad and sappy I just wanna burn the earth that's beneath your feet And I wanna stab your friends repeatedly And turn them into sausage meat I'm crazy, they don't think much Then they started this shit with me That's the problem, you think I'm a pussy You think I wont kill the mass of shitty teens That pitch tents around you, I'll kill the frat dudes I want you, I just don't want to have to Cause I hate you And all your friends And all the strings to their sunglasses all the shitty college trends I hate your mom I hate your family Yeah I tried to work this out But your forgot to let me know that you were changing. I wanna burn the world all it's inhabitants my number one accomplishment Lost one girl now I think i wanna burn the earth to shit But pretentious bastard make it worse Let's burn 'em all forget the hearses It's not funny, I'm not joking, I'm the guy that wrote these words Is that a problem? Do I need counseling? Do I need cats and easy listening? I want it no one responded Thoughts of violence are pretty common Cause I hate you all And all your friends And anything that you might like because I'm tired, drunk, and pissed I hate your pets And home appliances You'll boil inside the world I hate while I sit back and I try to give a shit So just let everybody know that I'm physically breaking hearts Since you decided that you wanna go I decided to turn homocide into art Yeah just let everybody know it's not safe for family and friends (family and friends) A simple warning will suffice, prepare for your lives to end Cause I hate you all And all your friends And anything that you might like because I'm tired, drunk, and pissed I hate your pets And home appliances You'll boil inside the world I hate while I sit back and I try to give a shit

Fist Bump 03:06
I guess I found a way to give in I got drunk and crashed a hotel pool with random kids Managed to find the craziest chick To ever live on Amelia Island And she ordered vodka And coke with vanilla And god knows what she was gonna make me do Fist bump All of her tattoos have meaning Which is strangely unappealing to me Her last name's from a different country And she got too coked out to sing If you're done in the bathroom Powdering your nose, boo The c'mon out so you can tell me where to stand Okay that was sarcastic I really hate how you acted I would've left if I knew I had to hold your hand Fist bump I said you're not Frank Zappa And you're not Jessica Alba So I refuse to pump these mixed drinks into you Fist Bump

Cereal Time 02:23
When I wake up in the morning and my mouth is dry, guess what It's cereal time When I wake up in the morning I got boogers in my eye, guess what It's cereal time See I don't really wanna open my eyes 'Cause the refrigerator light is so bright When I wake up in the morning with a stiffy dick, guess what It's cereal time When i wake up from a party and forget what I did, guess what It's cereal time When Brandon shits in the morning and he start the bath, guess what It's cereal time When Wesley tries to find some nuts to grab, guess what It's cereal time Because it's good any time of the day Now everybody grab some Special K When I wake up in the morning and I'm naked again, guess what It's cereal time When I come home from the bar after hangin' with friends, guess what It's cereal time When I'm running late for work and there's no time for eggs, guess what It's cereal time When I'm layin' in my bed gettin' blazed on regs, well guess what It's cereal time Because it's good any time of the day Now everybody grab some Special K Because it's good any time of the day I've pretty sure I heard Jesus say... ...If you've lived your entire life completely in sin bring a box of pops and I'll let you in... ...'cause anytime is cereal time
6.
Just don't act like you would even try to change the way you feel And I wont try to tell you jokes And I wont try to give approval of your actions and you wont Try to feed me your false hopes Please don't give it away I know how this ends now We'll call a spoiler alert You wanna cut me down Yeah think about what you say Before you call me out 'Cause I might write you a song And try to please the crowd I hold my breath 'til I move back and contemplate a house and kids My occupation's in the air (hey! hey! hey! hey!) I understand what you might want and exactly what I want from you I just want us both not to care Please don't give it away I know how this ends now We'll call a spoiler alert You wanna cut me down Yeah think about what you say Before you call me out 'Cause I might write you a song Because I'm sick of all this petty shit, the parties here with little kids, and someone tell these girls to go home. I guess the vulture kids don't really care, the creepy kid with greasy hair, all these girls in this apartment have a clone, a clone, a fuckin' clone I don't feel so irresponsible now yeah I got me a goal And I'll take some good advice from my friends they all think that they're old Yeah their problems stack up way higher than mine But they dig for the gold But I wont discount the fact that I might Find my place on the globe, on the globe ha ha ha Please don't give it away I know how this ends now We'll call a spoiler alert You wanna cut me down Yeah think about what you say Before you call me out 'Cause I might write you a song And try to please the crowd Please don't give it away I know how this ends now We'll call a spoiler alert You wanna cut me down Yeah think about what you say Before you call me out 'Cause I might write you a song And try to please the

Q & A 02:22
Well there's gotta be something Someplace you draw the line And I think you chose my stupid friends but I'll still call them mine Now I don't wanna be selfish But you wont say goodbye And I finally found a break in here well I need some peace of mind So don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers Go deal with your life Don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers Well I've been rippin' my hair out While you get sleep at night You're fuckin' brain cells out your head well I chose to smoke out mine And I think that there's something That you wont bring to light You shoved these thoughts into my head And these words into my sight So don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers Go deal with your life Don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers So don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers Go deal with your life Don't ask me questions I don't have the time I don't have the answers
8.
Joel Sux 02:10
Fuckass was late again but I guess that's just a problem That we're gonna have to deal with or maybe we can stop him 'Cause everybody knows That's the way it goes 'Cause Joel is always showing late to shows If he even shows oh no He takes direction by smell And it's detrimental He soils all the carpets he sells And drinks beer from a funnel Oh unfortunately the guy that plays lead Is more irresponsible than me But without him I think the group would feel incomplete The next time he's Drivin' back home And wont get the phone He's gonna catch the proverbial heat 'Cause when he walks in late he's gonna get I-C-E-D That's right Joel chug Yes Joel chug Drink that nasty Smirnoff up You better learn real fast We'll have to do this more than once Because He takes direction by smell And it's detrimental He soils all the carpets he sells And drinks beer from a funnel He'll likely never burn in hell Because he's lost in limbo But he should probably stay like himself Because we love you bro

How many times do I have to see In my head it's 1993 I have the world sittin' in my hands And the scene playin' over and over again I could've won you should have seen The name of Louis would've been the king But it was a momentary distraction That was the cause of my delayed reaction Sweating profusely The heat is inducing And I can't feel both of my hands I should've done what my heart said to But every time I listen to my gut it sink right down into my shoes And I can only say the entire blame is on me For the rock paper scissor riot of 1993 At the championship there's a misconception That every opponent has a different direction Every guy there knows just what to do But the only person who don't know a thing is Zhu No I'm not talking about you the third guy in the back I'm talking about the asian not our bro in Iraq Zhu got to the championship with a stroke of luck By throwing in some favors from a homocidal duck The room just keeps spinning And Zhu just keeps winning And I am doing the best that I can I should've done what my heart said to But every time I listen to my gut it sink right down into my shoes And I can only say the entire blame is on me For the rock paper scissor riot of 1993 The time is now To take a bow To the man across the room And prepare yourself For mental health And you're impending doom Then there's a clatter Something's the matter As the room get eerily quiet Then someone will rise And you'll despise As they scream to riot They told me I slipped and bumped my head And that the officials thought I was dead Some idiot across the room called Zhu a commie And threw his bread cart filled with rye and pastrami Then it was like some action flick As the room erupted with mounds of sticks The crew was outside it was clear to see This was like the riot from 1983

Suck It Up 01:56
Woke up now and it's dark outside again Drove up town to the same landmark again Choke this down you're not gonna change anything Don't feel good cause I'm so inadequate Stare real hard cause I'm always out of it Now, yeah just drink that attitude down And I don't wanna do this cause I'm always changing everything All these words are useless I'm just choking on a petty dream If I use the right excuses no one will be disappointed in me But it all comes back to haunt me cause I can't please all the people That I wanted back in Jacksonville not even equal Will I fail if I miss these classes again So I just give up All these new songs suck I don't want drugs Draw blood Suck it up I woke up now and it's dark outside again Drove up town to the same landmark again Choke this down you're not gonna change anything Alright I don't feel good cause I'm so inadequate I stare real hard cause I'm always out of it Now, yeah just drink that attitude down Oh yeah I just give up 'Cause these new songs suck I don't want drugs Draw blood Suck it up I said Suck it up

Cougars 04:17
Alright I'm bouncin' at the club, the hotties running amock And I'm thinking about the one that'll make me dumbstruck Every girl in the room looks the same to me Except for the one that's makin' eyes back at me She's got a couple wrinkles and her hair is in a bun But it looks like those new cans were made just for fun Walking her way to meet her eyes are staring at my front And I can only think about me playing with her uh... cat Every schoolgirl needs a schoolboy Like every dog that needs a chew toy Like every punk kid needs an Oi! Oi! Oi! Like every cougar needs a pool boy Just a bunch of frat boys that strike my attention But it seems their minds are off in another dimension I can't find the one that will clean my pool But then my mouth goes dry and my lips start to drool He's wearing some khakis and a black polo shirt And I can only see his eyes going straight to my skirt I pull my shirt down as it clings and sticks And I know he's thinking about me playing with his dog Every schoolgirl needs a schoolboy Like every dog that needs a chew toy Like every punk that needs an Oi! Oi! Oi! Like every cougar needs a pool boy Sever hours later the house has finally stopped its shaking And then two hours later I've got some cookies baking The shower starts, I think about my day I've gotta pick up the kids and send my husband away Look, tomorrow night I'll be back at the club With electronic music in the step they call dub I think for dinner I'll make some chicken curry Then it's off to sleep with another member of General Tso's Fury Every schoolgirl needs a schoolboy Like every dog that needs a chew toy Like every punk that needs an Oi! Oi! Oi! Like every cougar needs a pool boy Hey Hey A sexy pool boy Hey Hey A sexy pool boy Hey Hey A sexy pool boy

U-Turn 01:38
I'd rather be at the show Not driving west bound Turn after turn we're just turning around Giving miami That DIY sound U-turns look like a smile but they feel like a frown Hey Hey Hey U-turns suck Hey Hey Hey What the fuck This song sounds like all the rest But the message is different God U-turns suck We've been dead for a week We're dragging the ground Wesley can't even speak Marshall smokes by the pound And Joel's sweating grease And Bill's lost his mind Kid's doing drugs on the streets They're not even prescribed Hey Hey Hey U-turns suck Hey Hey Hey What the fuck This song sounds like all the rest But the message is different U-turns suck! Can we go to Pita Pit now!? Let's get Pit faced! yeah, let's get Pit faced (lol) What do they even sell at Pita Pit? PITAS! PITA! PITA! I don't give a shit about pitas. I'M NOT EATING FUCKING PITA AND HUMMUS! ...why not, man? 'CAUSE THAT SHIT SUCKS, IT'S NOT FILLING! They have jerk chicken... JERK CHICKEN SUCKS! ...no it doesn't... I HATE CHICKEN!

Somebody found a new chord that nobody has tried yet They must've changed the fretboard 'cause I can't seem to find it Young kid says save the music he's probably wearing a headband Runs a pick across his lips as he sings atop the news stand And we all clap We all write songs and sing 'em for couples when they break up But singing is no excuse to wear your sister's make up I might just be old fashioned but Blood on the Dance Floor sucks They don't know music, it's true, just Ask Alexandria And we say Hey Hey Hey Hey God where has the music gone It's probably gone away And he says No No No No But there is something going on 'Cause bands don't make mix tapes I have a few close friends and I'd say we're in agreement Where would pop music be if it wasn't for GarageBand I only have one voice and I should probably learn to use it 'Cause if we don't do something now than we'll never save the music And we say Hey Hey Hey Hey God where has the music gone It's probably gone away Oh and he says No No No No But there is something going on 'Cause bands don't make mix tapes Hey Hey Hey God where has the music gone It's probably gone away Oh and he says No No No No But there is something going on 'Cause bands don't make mix tapes Oh and we say Hey Hey Hey Hey God where has the music gone It's probably gone away Oh and he says No No No No But there is something going on 'Cause bands don't make mix tapes
