They Came From The Shadows

Teenage Bottlerocket They Came From The Shadows Lyrics
1.Skate Or Die

We're gonna fight,
We're gonna win,
We're making skate a fucking threat again.

We're on the prowl,
For something cool,
We're gonna shred your empty swimming pool.

We're doing slappy's at the Circle K,
And I did gnarly boneless while my walkman blasts out JFA

Don't be a pussy,
there's no need to cry,
So shut up and get rad,
cuz' now it's time to skate or die.
Yeah you don't even need to know the reason why,
Just shut up and get rad,
cuz' now it's time to skate or die.

Go!

Mullen's my god,
He brings me joy,
The second coming of skate and destroy.

Brian was brave,
He hit a cop,
He won a trip down at the donut shop.

We're waging war against the posers of the day,
If we play our cards right someday,
we might be in the Bones Brigade.


Skate!


2.Don't Want To Go

I don't want to go
I don't want to go to the show that's up the street
There's a chance that she might be there
I don't feel like going out to eat
Lie and tell my friends I don't care
They're getting sick of the same old things I say
I catch myself and I change the subject
I pretend that everything's ok
Though you treated me like an object
I don't want to go
I don't want to go to the bar to get some drinks
I don't care if they say they're buying
If I see anybody making out
In my beer I'll end up crying
I don't want to go to the record store
I showed her all the cool things to buy there
All the posers selling those cd's
Are a bunch of fucking assholes
You said you want me to get over you
That's exactly what I want to do
But I can't make it go away
Maybe I should go and see a shrink
He can figure out just why I think about you
Every minute every day
Every minute every day
I don't want to go


3.Bigger Than Kiss

Detroit couldn't rock itself out of a paper bag
Gene Simmons looks kinda cool
But Paul Stanley kinda looks like a jag
Ace Frehley can play guitar
But he ain't no fucking Kerry King
So get your ass out of the way
Here comes a rock revolution
Listen up cause I'm about to sing
The creatures of the night
Can't hold a candle to this
We'll be kickin' ass we'll be takin' names
When we're bigger than Kiss
I never thought cocaine
Could be as good as this
We'll live our lives in alcoholic bliss
When we're bigger than Kiss
Rock!

Me and Charlie we have it loud
Yeah you know we rock and roll all night
Paul Stanley fell down on stage and broke a hip
Let's hope he's not alright
The ladies don't like old men
Now my love gun is the one in demand
And we're gonna go down in history
As the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band
The creatures of the night
Can't hold a candle to this
We'll be kickin' ass we'll be takin' names
When we're bigger than Kiss
Calling Dr. Love hey geta load of this
Ray beat the piss out of Peter Criss
Now we're bigger than Kiss


4.Do What?

I'm surprised you showed up
The last time you were here you said to grow up
To me and all my friends we started to crack up
You could have told us how it was
But we couldn't shut up
So you went crying out the door
I never really thought about what to tell you
I bet you got a couple things you'd like to say
Do what? Do what you want to do
Be anything you want to be
But don't expect to be with me
Do What? Do what you want to do
There's plenty people out there too
They might just want to be with you
Do what the other fuckers say
You always look down to everyone around
You're dragging us all down
The stereo was too loud
So you had it turned down
Until you fell flat on your face
I never really thought about what to tell you
I bet you got a couple things you'd like to say
Do what? Do what you want to do
Be anything you want to be
But don't expect to be with me
Do what? Do what you want to do
There's plenty people out there too
They might just want to be with you tonight
Yeah they might just want to be with you tonight


5.Not OK

I don't fell alright I've got a sick feeling inside
And now it's happening again
Feels like the walls are closing in
Now I'm getting sick of all the stupid things you do
The promises you made but never followed through
And I'm surprised you got this far with your IQ
You gotta get it through your head
It's not OK you can't keep fucking around with me
It's not OK you're getting on my nerves constantly
It's not OK I wish that you would just let me be
The time has come and gone for you to see
That it's not OK

I don't feel alright, I've got a sick feeling inside
And now it's happening again
Feels like the walls are closing in
Now I'm getting sick of all the stupid things you do
The promises you made but never followed through
And I'm surprised you got this far with your IQ
You gotta get it through your head
It's not OK you can't keep fucking around with me
It's not OK you're getting on my nerves constantly
It's not OK I wish that you would just let me be
The time has come and gone for you to see
That it's not OK

I tried to tell myself that it would be alright
But I can't think when I can't sleep at night
I can't sleep at night
You gotta get it through your head
It's not OK you can't keep fucking around with me
It's not OK you're getting on my nerves constantly
It's not OK I wish that you would just let me be
The time has come and gone for you to see
That it's not OK


6.Forbidden Planet

They tried to warn us we did it anyway
No one can save us our time has come to pay
Destroying anything that's standing in its way
Nothing can stop it won't see another day
With communications down
No one will hear our cries
On this forbidden planet is where we'll die

They tried to warn us we did it anyway
No one can save us our time has come to pay
Destroying anything that's standing in its way
No one can stop it won't see another day
With communications down
No one will hear our cries
On this forbidden planet is where we'll die
With communications down
No one will hear our cries
On this forbidden planet is where we'll die

It's where we'll die
We did it to ourselves


7.Call In Sick

I didn't feel like going to work today
I called in sick but I feel OK
I'm getting used to the same old thing
Ever since my TV brainwashed me
Tuned me into a stupid jerk
Go to work
Let's go!
I didn't feel like waking up today
I force myself to get up and go
I know my girlfriend's messing around
And I really don't care who she's going down on
As long as I don't have to call her up
Tried to listen to the radio
But I just can't seem to understand it
Man I figured out that one long ago
I'm getting used to the same old thing
But it doesn't mean that I have to stand it
Is there anywhere else that I can go?
Where I want to go
I never thought I would bitch about everything
I never thought I would feel this low
Figure it out because I know you really don't care
Figure it out while I sit here with a blank stare
Tried to listen to the radio
But I just can't seem to understand it
Man I figure out that one long ago
I'm getting used to the same old thing
But it doesn't mean that I have to stand it
Is there anywhere else!


8.Fatso Goes Nutzoid

Insecure about the size of my body
Don't want to be on top of anybody
In second grade the kids all started to tease me
Mom and Dad were mad that I wasn't that happy
I will never look like you
It doesn't matter what I do
I see these people on TV
They never seem to look like me
Insecure about the size of my body
Don't want to be on top of anybody
I never seem to feel that pretty
The kids say fat and they're never kidding
I lie and say it doesn't bother me at all
I will never look like you
It doesn't matter what I do
I swallow pills I try to run
To tell the truth it's not that fun
Insecure


9.Without You

Remember when you slept so close to me at night
I felt you breathe you fit into my arms just right
I never meant to hurt you
Cause I know that you've been hurt before
It's hard when everything around reminds me of you
I still miss your eyes your smile and all of your tattoos
And those nights we talked for hours on the phone
But now you're gone and I feel so all alone here without you
Remember when you showed me all your favorite tunes
And then we kissed the softest kisses in your room
I know you never meant to hurt me
But you tore my world in two
It's hard when everything around reminds me of you
I still miss your eyes your smile and all of your tattoos
And those nights we talked for hours on the phone
But now you're gone and I feel so all alone here without you


10.Tonguebiter

Do you do you? Have trouble leaving home
Do you do you? Never answer your telephone
Do you do you? Spend time thinking of me
Do you do you? Try to hate on everything
I could have made a list of all the things you'd do
And given it to you weeks before you'd do them too
I find it funny that I'm picking on your predictability
When I knew you'd drive me crazy
Do you do you? Have trouble leaving home
Do you do you? Never answer your telephone
Do you do you? Spend time thinking of me
Do you do you? Try to hate on everything
I could have made a list of all the things you'd do
And given it to you weeks before you'd do them too
I find it funny that I'm picking on your predictability
And my inability and all these insecurities
That drive me crazy
I thought of words to tell you
When I was walking out your door
I nearly turned around to face
The same thing as before
I'm going to keep on doing nothing
Because I learned to bite my tongue
It swelled up so big I can't speak
Or sing the songs you sung
Do you do you? Try to hate on everything


11.Be With You

You got a way of really bringin' me down
Might be the reason I don't want you around
Got sick of all the fucked up things that you said
Got sick of all the games you played with my head
Maybe I'm trying to tell you it was a waste of time
I felt like I was in prison for not committing a crime
I don't want to be be be with you
No I don't want to be be be with you
I don't want to do what you want me to do
I wanna do what I want to
Maybe I'm trying to tell you it was a waste of my time
I felt like I was in prison for not committing a crime
No I don't want to be be be with you
I don't want to be be be with you
I don't want to do what you want me to do
I wanna do what I want to


12.The Jerk

He'll ignore most of your questions
He won't pretend to care
He won't hesitate to tell you
That he hates your stupid hair
Don't ask him if he likes it
He'll set you up to knock you down
Truth be told he'd like to smash your
Heart into the ground
He's just the jerk and he's going to ask you
Where you're from and why'd you leave
He's just the jerk
And he'll make you want to
Squirt his eyes with Listerine
He's just the jerk and he's going to tell you
Where you're never going to be
He's just the Jerk
And he'll make you want to
Soak his pride in gasoline
And throw a cigarette
Is that exactly what you really want to do?

Deep down he really hates himself
So he takes it out on you
He blocks off all his pain inside
With a lot of attitude
He's sick of staying up at night
Alone and all depressed
He keeps his bedroom nice and clean
But his head is still a mess
He's just the jerk and he's going to ask you
Where you're from and why'd you leave
He's just the jerk
And he'll make you want to
Squirt his eyes with Listerine
He's just the jerk and he's going to tell you
Where you're never going to be
He's just the Jerk
And he'll make you want to
Soak his pride in gasoline
And throw a cigarette
Is that exactly what you really want to do?


13.They Came From The Shadows

There's something there in the midnight air
It's hanging with impending doom
I paid no heed to the danger that night
And left the safety of my living room
I heard something behind me
And then I realized that I was not alone
And I would later come to find
That they didn't come to kill
But rather turn me into one of their own
Yeah something wasn't right
That night they came from the shadows
There's nothing you can do
They're coming after you
And they came from the shadows
I got away and ducked into a place
Where I could settle down and try to think
Thought for a minute I had lost my mind
So I sat down and had myself a drink
The night wore on and I was feeling fine
And unassuming of my new found friends
The wicked ones with the evil plan of turning me into...
Yeah something wasn't right
That night they came from the shadows
There's nothing you can do
They're coming after you
And they came from the shadows
Yeah something wasn't right
They came from the shadows


14.Todayo

Waking up next to you is like a dream come true
I watch you while you dress
The way you look at me
My chest is totally pounding in distress
Waking up next to me I hope you'll always be
I hate when I'm away
All the other girls that talk to me just sound so lame
In the back of my car we let it go for a little far
And the look on your face made me feel so out of place
When you said you're ok and then you tried to drive away
Let me know you and I are going to live
Like we might die tomorrow
Waking up next to me I hope you'll always be
I have when I'm away
All the other girls that talk to me just sound so lame
In the back of my car we let it go a little far
And that look on your face made me feel so out of place
When you said you're ok and then you tried to drive away
Let me know you and I are going to live
Like we might die tomorrow
Todayo
