Weekend Geniuses
02:29
|

|
People say they wish that they could get out of the grind
I try to tell them look around, you don't know what you'll find
When the weekend rolls around, they sleep it all away
How can you ever chase your dreams if you never seize the day?
The clock is tickin'
Are you pickin'
The path you've wanted quite awhile?
I'm not a genius Monday through Friday
I do my best to make it through
But I'm a genius over the weekend
I'll take a chance on what I wanna do
Disbelievin' that they'll ever get out of the rut
I try to tell them run for it before the doors are shut
You're standing on a minefield of a lifetime thrown away
Afraid to take a step for fear that you'll be blown away
The sand is fallin'
The world is callin'
Does that paycheck really make you smile?
I'm not a genius Monday through Friday
I do my best to make it through
But I'm a genius over the weekend
I'll take a chance on what I wanna do
I'm not saying that you shouldn't do what you need to survive
An honest day of work is great, but not the only part of being alive
You've gotta chase the sun, you've gotta chase the stars
You've gotta get a grip and grab the handle bars
I'm not a genius Monday through Friday
I do my best to make it through
But I'm a genius over the weekend
I'll take a chance on what I wanna do
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
But we're weekend geniuses
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
I'm not a genius, I'm not a genius
But we're weekend geniuses

Two Best Friends
01:15
|
|||
|
Well I have two best friends in the whole wide world
We play in a band together and we sing about girls
We're called Atomic Treehouse
And no one really knows what that means
Not even me
But we'll be rockin' out at the Krazy Kup tonight for free
So grab your friends, we'll sing along
We'll play another stupid song
We'll entertain you with our banter
But in the end, we still won't see her
I have two best friends in the whole wide world
(I have two best friends in the whole wide world)
I have two best friends in the whole wide world

Every Time You Sing
02:24

Heard you singing along with everyone
Everybody there was having so much fun
And I know that I'm out of touch
My opinion might not matter much
But pop punk singing and nasally voices
Always are in my top choices
You don't have to be a girl in the choir
Or the opera on TV oh no
Cuz I dig you
You're so cute every time you sing
It makes me think that you could be my pop punk queen
Now I know it's time to go
Make a record and we'll play it all over the world
And I don't care
What anybody says cuz they'll never be aware
What it would mean to me to have a girl like you
You're so cute every time you sing
It makes me think that you could be my pop punk queen
Now I know it's time to go
Make a record and we'll play it all over the world
Play it all over the world
I'll take you all over the world
We'll play it all over the world

The Super Michael Bros.
They helped me get a killer deal
The Super Michael Bros.
They're the best in town for real
The Super Michael Bros.
They've got every game that matters
Now everybody knows
It's where every gamer gathers
They've got so many games, you won't know what to do
From N64 to the PS2
2600 to the Genesis
I'm never going back to Craigslist

New York Florida
02:42
|
|||
|
I was walkin' on, on down to
New York Florida to go to the Video View
But I ended up at the Wal-Mart
Heard a Cheap Trick song at the snack bar
New York Florida is the only place where you can find nostalgia every night
In a city that won't lay to rest the memories that you and I held tight
Those summer nights hangin' out by the railroad tracks
Know that I won't forget the past
I continued down, the sidewalk
Feelin' like a little bit o' classic rock
With a song in heart, I started snappin'
Snappin' my fingers and then I started clappin', yeah
New York Florida is the only place where you can find nostalgia every night
In a city that won't lay to rest the memories that you and I held tight
Those summer nights hangin' out by the railroad tracks
Know that I won't forget the past

Cherry Soda Girl
02:47
|
|||
|
Walking through the candy store with a Chic-O-Stick in hand
A smirky smile upon my face no one would understand
Walking to the cooler for a cane sugar root beer
This candy store's so sweet I can't wait to bring her here
Yeah she's sweeter than cherry soda
Or maybe that's just an assumption
But I've got to meet the quota
For my sugar consumption
Just need something sweet
To feed this addiction
Think she's got what I need
Don't need no science fiction
Anymore, anymore
My cherry soda girl
Thinking of a girl I should have asked out long ago
Now she's far away and she'll probably never know
I'd like to buy her chocolate or some candy from Japan
And maybe things will go according to plan
Yeah she's sweeter than cherry soda
Or maybe that's just an assumption
But I've got to meet the quota
For my sugar consumption
Just need something sweet
To feed this addiction
Think she's got what I need
Don't need no science fiction
Anymore, anymore
My cherry soda girl
I'm losing my mind
On a girl I barely know
I'm losing my mind
But at least my sugar intake won't be low

Dairy Queen King
01:56

Every time we hang out with our drummer, Eric
We gotta go to the Dairy Queen
He gets a Blizzard while I get a sandwich
I'm tellin' you he's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
After Dairy Queen we always go to Movie Stop
Pick up some classic Godzilla flicks
Ice cream and classic movies... that's pretty hard to top
That's why these are the favorite things of his
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
And if he ever pays me back
I just might have a heart attack
One time I lent about seven bucks to him
I'll never see that cash again... NO!!!
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen King
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen
Eric's the Dairy Queen King

Last Pancake Saturday
01:26
|
|||
|
Well everytime I go to get my hotcakes
I wish that girl was with me and my heart breaks
She probably thinks I'm just a geek
Now my heart has sprung a leak
Oh what can I say?
She's on my mind all day
I'm wasting my life away
I don't wanna wait
For our last pancake Saturday
When everybody goes home in November
I don't know if I'll get another chance to see her
I say let's go down to the fair
Cuz free pancakes will be there
An endless buffet
She's on my mind all day
I'm wasting my life away
I don't wanna wait
For our last pancake Saturday

My Summer Friend

My summer friend
I won't be seeing you again
My summer friend
All good things come to an end
Walking on the beach
I held her hand in mine
Now I'll have to teach myself
To leave the past behind
She doesn't need me
There's somebody better
To spend her time with in this autumn weather
My summer friend
I won't be seeing you again
My summer friend
All good things come to an end
She would have to go
At least that's what she told me
I guess this summer is left to history
She couldn't hang around
It was just a lonely town
And now that summer's over
Everyone is back around
My summer friend
I won't be seeing you again
My summer friend
All good things come to an end
