AFI : Behind the Times
Lyrics
1. WHO SAID YOU COULD TOUCH ME?
You don't know I am so,
You can not get close to me
And I don't know who you are,
So just leave me alone.
I know you can't believe
The anxiety you're causing me
And I know you can't believe
Your fake compassion I don't need.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
Don't try to rub my shoulders
And don't try to hold my hand.
Don't try to give me a fucking hug.
You crawl on me as if I were your very best of friends.
I don't even know your name.
Get away from me, You're standing too close.
Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone,
Who said you could touch me anyway?
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. ah!
2. ROLLING BALLS
Bowling is my life and it has always been my dream
To be a member of the local bowling team, but I'm not very good.
The guys won't accept me, I guess I try the girls team
And lose a part of my anatomy then balls will roll.
I think I want to be...
Balls will roll, I think it's time,
It's time for me to be a girl.
It's a very big decision, it's going to change my life.
I'll have to make all new friends, I'm gonna lose my wife.
But that's okay with me. There's something in my soul.
It doesn't matter who's the better man, it the man who gets to bowl.
Balls will roll. I think I want to be...
Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be a girl.
Go! I've made my decision, I'm gonna make the change.
There will be rolling balls, I'm gonna play my game.
It's gonna be so great. It's gonna be the best,
Besides, I've always told myself I look good in a dress.
I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em off.
I'll never have to cough.
Now I've made my change and I've fulfilled my dream.
I'm now a member of the women's bowling team.
I hope I throw a strike, cause I'll never score again.
My first game is tomorrow, I will go to play and then...
Balls will roll. I think I want to be...
Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be.
3. HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL HERO
I wanna be a highschool football hero.
With an S.A.T. score less than zero. I wanna
Try to drink my weight in beer-o. I wanna be a highschool football hero.
I wanna score a touchdown so I can score after the game.
I don't care about my future 'cause it is just another day.
I'll rush for forty yards and drink four forties later on. I'm done with
This brunette someone pass me another blonde.
Coach tells me to drink my milk and wash it down with 'roids.
I've gotta get my rest so I can
Party with the boys.
My brain is upside-down, so I'm just a little slow.
I'll change my name to
Bubba so that everyone will know...
4. RIZZO IN THE BOX
I'm always around you to show you that I care, but I don't know what for.
It seems
To me that you couldn't care less so I'm not gonna do it anymore.
I see no reason why I've placed such a value on you,
But my thoughts have changed now,
I've opened my eyes and now I'm through.
Looking back at my short life, the few pleasures that I've found,
All your misconceptions pummel me to the ground.
Now, I look at your small life and it doesn't mean a bit. I pick myself
Up off the ground 'cause I don't give a shit.
They say all good things come to an end, I wish this didn't apply.
You were once someone I called my friend but that's all changed now
And I don't know why.
Things are very different now.
You've got nothing to say.
It's sad when someone you know very well decides to fucking die and go away.
5. CEREAL WARS
Get up early in the morning, going to the store.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
Fucking store never has the monsters and they never get more.
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the cereal war.
I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box.
I'll try some cocoa puffs
Today who the fuck is Sonny anyway?
Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more Marshmallows than the rest.
There's not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Krispies, and always stay away from
Wheaties.
Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store.
I had some Erkles, liked 'em a lot. It's
the cereal war.
I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes, and then I could try Sugar Bombs.
The soggies will never get
Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch.
Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat.
Give me sugar, not nuts and twigs!
Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you?
6. BORN IN THE US OF A
"Frank wont be coming in today, Joe.. or tomorrow.
Frank quit, bought a goat farm..moved to Ukiah."
"I like really big tits. I like really big tits.
Reading pornos, watchin' girly shows, takin' off their clothes.
I like watchin' gay men fight. I like watchin' gay men fight.
Walk like a macho man, love Hulk Hogan, love the slogan.
"Hulk rules!"
I'm just God's gift to Earth. I'm just God's gift to Earth.
Walkin' in a strut 'cross the side of the bar, drivin' a chevy truck.
You know me with gun racks, got a .40 growin' up eat and live and breath dregs-
I'm born in the US of A, born in the US of A, born in the US of A.
I've been tryin' to be a man. I'm just tryin' to be a man.
Drink from dawn to night, lookin' for a fight, makes everything alright.
I like really big tits. I like really big tits
I think I'll look up to all the girls, a slut might just beat me up.
You know me with gun racks, got a .40 growin' up, even though I've got three ???-
I'm born in the US of A, born in the US of A, born in the US of A.
You know me with gun racks, got a .40 growin' up, eat and live and breath dregs-
I'm born in the US of A, born in the US of A, born in the US of A.
We'll shiiiit."
You don't know I am so,
You can not get close to me
And I don't know who you are,
So just leave me alone.
