lyrics

prefab, name a target
i got time for days
i think outside thirteen boxes
i do what pays

dopesick, sputnik
we beat the spread
we beat the beatniks
i thought i told you
that i liked my knots landing
how come you’re always sitting
when you say you’re understanding?

i’m lost, i got the map out
i’m choked, i gotta tap out
slashed tires, slash throat
i bought the castle
so i breaststroke in the moat

shooting speed on the speedway gives new meaning to the "highway"
my way or the highway, i prefer pulaski skyways
“my way or the highway”? is that your ultimatum?
making them is half the fun, which is why i like to make em
i thought i told you that i liked my fences picket
i think ahead so i buy two one-way tickets
and my mother makes the very best brisket
i always take two servings because i just dont wanna risk it

teeth are chipped like my mouth is playing poker
stocks have tanked, someone call the broker
must be drinking if i swear i see two decimals
must be drinking if i swear i see two decibels
never had a goldfish last me more than a week
lying comes so naturally all i do is speak
i thought i told u that i liked my knots landing
how come you’re always sitting when you say you’re understanding?

you watched me let it go
you got a front row ticket to a sold out show
you watched me let it go
you got a front row ticket to a sold out show
im edgar allen apropo
you watched me let it go...

about

Family Fun image

Family Fun

Family Fun is equal parts punk rock n' roll and nothing. A refreshingly haphazard, multi-lensed beast drawing upon influences musical, historical, comical, and sexual. Hardcore threaded with the theatrical, punk rock peppered with proud pop insensibilities, draws fervently from a gorge of culture and history whether it be Born Against, Dinosaur Jr., Agnostic Front, ELO, Iggy Pop, or Joan Rivers. ... more
