I think it might just be alright
To leave what matters out of sight
Old habits die hard holding on
Inevitable means it's never gone

Told myself what I need to hear
I think the point was very clear
I showed me what we'd missed since we
Slipped into inconsistency

Pre-Chorus:
It seems that my ties with you get severed
I can't seem to hold the thing together
I just fall apart
Cuz that's my trademark

CHORUS
It's my, my trademark move
To turn my back on you
It's my, my trademark move
To realize I should improve

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

I'll kill the thing that turns me away
Amputate the arm that will disobey
Withdraw from everything that's hurting me
Until you finish your work in me

Pre-Chorus
CHORUS

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

CHORUS X2

And sometime soon after that
You'll see me come crawlin back

so it was jeremy in 1983
in his ocean pacific tee
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard
that tuesday night

and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

cutting class through the first floor window
he's driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
and i look up to my big bro
cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go

and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
a pink tux to the prom

doo doo, doot doo
pink tux to the prom
doo doo, doot doo
pink tux to the prom

i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care... what could possibly go wrong?

when you're the president of the breakfast club
and you're not hesitant to fall in love to fall in love
to throw it away to fall in love with the 80's

i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care... what could possibly go wrong?
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...
cause you threw it away to fall in love with the 80's

I wish I could innovate
And try to streatch your minds
Cuz often times, when guys like me
Do that they leave themselves behind
To clean the mess, quick to impress
A little bit of everyone
But to innovate, Is a mistake
Cuz there's nothin new under the sun

BRIDGE
Cuz we're all gettin tired of the media
Cuz it tries to hard to make you like something
Cuz we're all gettin tired of the media
Cuz creatings nothing new it's just recycling

CHORUS
Wit, wits all been done before
Yeah we do something to death
Then we dig it up just to do it some more

In all my lines, the warning signs
But not all with dead ends
And I'm not sure, the clever words
All sit well with my friends
I will not just sit and watch
Antother victim fall
I'll just have to do what my god tells me to
And hope that you will buy it all

BRIDGE
CHORUS X2

Originality is a ghost town
And its oh so hard to get to and when you do
Then people start to hate you
You scream that you believe out loud in a crowd people eill hate you
Cuz repetition's just so safe, repetitions's just like prison
And i prefer to be out of place cuz I'm not really into prison

CHORUS
BRIDGE
CHORUS X2

Well Brian and me well,
We both agree that,
That penny loafers are absurd,
'Cause I don‘t know why on earth,
You would take you two cents worth,
And stick them in your girly shoes,
And Dave replied well after all,
Why not at least use quarters,
So then you can make a phone call,

Its finally time, time for our victory lap,
Assemble the B, just one left turn,
The matchbox tires spin out on the welcome mat,
And the firemen are tired men,
Who cant put out the rug burn,
And they say,

Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
So that you can dream of destinations
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
Cut your hair short, then walk through an airport,
While all the while you're singing good vibrations,

You're singing good vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, vibrations
You're singing, good, good, good, good, we both agree
You're singing, good, good, good, good, mmm hmm hmm hmm

Now for the question
It just won't go away
So what are we
Gonna do today
Cuz it seems like
For the last four years
We've had far much
Less of a say
I know I always come out
Like a pessimist
But there is always something else
That's leading up to this
Chris used to come
To all the local shows
Back when the days were simpler

CHORUS
Do you remember
those days are gone but Chris is not
And now he's got the air
And in fact along with that
He's developed a severe disliking for
for the band
I don't like, how it seems like
Anything he sings is always
For the band
I don't like, how it seems like
Anything he sings is
For the band

So don't think I'm going to
Sit and complain
When there's so many
Good things left to say
But watch closely
As i refrain
From forgetting who I am Along the way

CHORUS

She sat me down and said to me
I think you've misplaced your identity
Cuz what you do isn't all of who
You really are

Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key
Cuz everyday is just the same to me
We'll play it sloppily
We're singing out of key

CHORUS

It's the principle,
it's the issue,
that your principal would dismiss you
Because you don't fit into that all-American box
That coffin created for creative thought

It's disgusting, his priorities
How we're entrusting him with authority
His gavel's gone down before he looked in your heart
He finished this racism before he reached the start

Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven,
there'll be a failure to excommunicate

(instrumental)

The world just keeps you at arm's length
Every week you work up the strength
to fight the flames that are hurled
Let your faith shine right through
You know it's the world versus Jesus and you

It's disgusting, their priorities
How we're entrusting them with authority
Their gavel's gone down before they looked in your heart
They finished this racism before they reached the start

Jesus loved the outcasts
He loves the ones the world just loves to hate
And as long as there's a heaven,
there'll be a failure to excommunicate
(Repeat X2)

A failure to excommunicate
