Hoobastank - Earthsick lyrics

Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
This world became a thief
To the beautiful things that flourished in your day
That's why I say
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop, stop, stop the world
Because I want to get off
Want to get off
Want to get off
It's making me earthsick
Substitute what is now for what had used to be
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick
My head keeps spinning
Progress is winning
I don't recognize the place where I grew up
This is no fantasy
The ground beneath your feet
Will soon be a store with things that you don't need
That's why I plead

Hoobastank - Naked Jock Man lyrics

Me and my friends kickin' in the household
Tryin' to figure out thoughts start to unfold
Nothing to do or see I can't understand
Combine all our thoughts to come up with a plan
Car alarm system too expensive to buy
But not if you're gonna hire this guy
With a helmet on his head and a club in his hand
Cock in sock, it's the naked jock man
Naked, Naked, Naked, Jock
Naked, Naked, Naked, Man
Tall dark man going to break into my car
With Naked Jock Man he ain't gonna get far
Car alarm sounds, trunk lifts up
He jumps to the ground
What the fuck's that?
I can hear him scream in fright
Naked Jock Man just ruined his night
You can run, you can hide, just turn yourself in
Cause he'll get you in the end
He's the Naked Jock Man
And he's after Dan
Naked Jock Man
R-Y-A-N
Now months have passed since the birth of the jock man
Sally Jesse Raphael and David Letterman
Want the jock man to show his face
He's the next bitch on Melrose Place
Naked Jock Man was just a big joke
Now you'll see his ass on all the talk shows
The people want to know
They're willing to die
Who the fuck is that guy?

Hoobastank - Our Song lyrics

For some reason we've had the same dreams and acted on our own
Now look where we are
And the times when we don't get along have only made us strong
I know we all will say that it was worth the pain
When we'll all be gathered around
Knowing the love that we gave's not a waste
You know they will know it's true
And when the day when we'll all be gathered around comes
And I know it's not far away I hope
We will know (it's true)
And still today I wonder how it all became like this
As if drawn by unseen force
We arrived in one specific place, for all our dreams to chase
And though we did not show, I think we all did know
When things got rough, we still found a way
Now our times, is today

Hoobastank - The Mirror lyrics

Is it shame?
Is it greed?
Is it something that I need?
To make me feel so strong to the other ones
Is it real?
Is it true?
All the trouble I go through
Is it just a way, to show
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)
That I don't have the strength to show
But the mirror will always know
I've got to let go
Is it them?
Is it me?
I'm just too occupied to see
Afraid to look within to the real one
Can it be that I am scared
To share the parts I've never shared?
Or is it just a way, to show
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)
You won't get inside my head cause I won't let you go
To see that I'm crying out for you to
Know what I want to say
I've got to let you know
That I want to say
I've just got to tell you

Hoobastank - The Dance That Broke My Jaw

Hey man, I saw you standing there
You were bobbing your head to the beat as your fists start to clinch
Oh so tight
"No Fear" in your eyes, and also on your shirt (and hat and pants)
It's your turn to show tonight, do your best to start a fight
Show us all that you can dance with your elbows and your hands
(Dancing with friends, keeping the peace, if you didn't know I'm being sarcastic)
When you feel the crowd start to move
Please try to resist the urge that you get
Try not to get upset and sock your neighbor right in the face
I know that coach meant well
But what's a dance to you is a fight to someone else
Keep your anger aside, kick back, enjoy the ride
And think how it could be if you showed some courtesy
Your hostility, it grows so easily
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Please don't get near
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Have some more beer, "No Fear Gear" is what you wear
Just because the music begins
Does not always mean a wrestling scene from WWF
Breaks out right to my left
And I got a ringside ticket
I'll challenge you or anyone anywhere
Sometimes I just want the football thrown in
Let the football game begin
And then say to myself as I think of someone else
That's not what we came here for, we'll take no more
What's going through your head?
To the point that someone is dead
Keep it up and you're out of here, you're out of here
And when you're outside by yourself and sitting all alone
Keep your head down
Cause we're the ones that warned you
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Please don't get near
You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw
Can't we just be friends in here?
Go drink some more beer
Kick your neighbor's rear
Elbow to my ear
Can't we just be friends in here?
I was dancing by myself, and bothering no one else
When suddenly I was encountered by the beast
I ask so politely, "please just let me be"
But the next thing I remember, I'm staring at the ceiling
Someone please, help me call security
Was on my feet, but now I'm on the floor
That shithead doesn't show respect to me or to you
So now he's out the door
Not gonna hurt us anymore
That dance floor is free of hostility
And I'm so glad he's gone
It's our turn to have fun
My message was clear, "We're all friends in here"
But we're not allowed to do the dance that broke my jaw
