Turn The Radio Off lyrics

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.
i don't remember what i read, i don't remember
what they said, i guess it doesn't matter,
i guess it doesn't matter
anymore - you're gonna go to the record store
you're gonna give 'em all your money
radio plays what they want you to hear

everybody's
doin' the fish
yea! yea! yea!
everybody's doin' the fish, yea, yea,
yea...

it's not so bad bein' trendy
everyone who looks like me is my friend
please don't hate me because i'm trendy
they're not gonna laugh at me again.

everybody does it
why don't you
everybody does it...
maybe you should too,
cause you don't wanna be left out
you wanna be cool.

it's not so bad bein' trendy

was gonna call my friends and get 'em all together
i was gonna go and start a band,
but everything i wanna do has already been done.
why would i wanna go and do it again
everybody...plays guitar.
she's so cute (if you know what i mean)
she's the cutest little
girl, that i've ever seen.
maybe she'll like me if
i play guitar
maybe she'll like me if i'm
the lead singer yea,
oh yea! there's so many

she has a girlfriend now
she has a girlfriend now
she has a girlfriend now, she said
"guys don't do no more for me"

"you never loved me, like i wanted you to"
"i loved you baby, what do you want me to do"

she said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand
she said she found someone who's gonna understand
she don't need nobody to be her man
she don't need nobody to be her man

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

she
called me
late last
night, to say she loved me so
it didn't matter anymore, but
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
if you're drinkin' well, you know
that you're my friend and i say
i think i'll have myself a beer.

241! (repeat several times)

there's a ska band on my street, a little ska band
everybody thinks that they're so $#&%!# neat,
there was nothin' on the radio
was gonna make my own band, play my own shows
but that don't work so i' givin' up again,
she said she loved me cause i played guitar
that's ok, i didn't love her at all and i say...

i'm givin' up
i know everything sucks, and this is gonna be the last

what ever happened to
suburban rhythm
why did ed and scott quit
please don't go, suburban rhythm
all the other bands are just $#!%

watchin' you sleep,
i'm lookin'
in your window,
everyday i drive past
your house
standin' in your front yard,
why don't you come out
watchin' you sleep...nowhere to hide,
one of these days i'm gonna come inside
it must be love,
what else could it be
$#&% you $!%&# 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

Why can't she make up her fuckin' mind
I'm just sittin' here wastin' so much time
I know it's my fault but it's not my problem anymore...
Some day, maybe she'll come back to me
And I'll say, "why don't you go fuck yourself!?"
But everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She gave me everything...all I want is more...
Yea, I wrote this song for her

everytime 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')
i tried so hard, for nothin' (nothin')
i never wanted it that way, guess
there was nothin' 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
i know it's really not your fault

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

poor little cow, little sheep,
little fish
how can I sleep when carrots

everybody's lookin' at me
thought i saw my face on mtv
or 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, yea.

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

well, i see you up on stage and
i don't know just
what you're sayin', but you're my hero...
and 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

You know I'm cool when all the guys wanna be my friend.And every
little girl here,they all wanna hold my hand.But I stole all of
my songs,I'm probobly gonna get sued.That's allright,as long as
I get screwed.yea yea yea...
And mabey you'll come and see us when we get real big.Mabey you'll
see us if we ever get another gig,cause there's so many fish in
