VERSE:
I get to work at 8 or Saturdays at 5
Where pubs are everywhere and the vibe is so alive
Too many times, they try to get in free
In turn, they are denied continually
So they say...
"How much is the fee?"
And I say, "Three dollars please!"
They pay the toll then on they roll
And I go get Chinese!
Come on!
CHORUS:
Come by the booth
Come by the booth
Come by the booth
Come by the booth
(x2)
CHORUS
VERSE
Come by the booth!

INTRO:
My name is Hooligan (x2)
And I'm bored to tears again!
My name is Jed (x2)
And I'm so out of my head!
PRE-VERSE:
Well, there's got to be an answer here
A way to get us by
What direction can we steer
To make us feel alive?
Hey, I feel the rain
The winds of change
I saw the sign!
Now I can fly!
And I know why
Let's go back to high...
School!!
VERSE 1:
Start at 8 o'clock
We can't be late
We'll take the bus
It should be great
We're loud
And shouting cheerfully
We're singing a new melody
Gonna get me some A-letter grades
Gonna get me some 12th-grader lays
We'll laugh
And dance and go the mile
Drop in a desk then stay awhile
CHORUS:
Well, I don't wanna fail
Don't wanna be no fool
Let's go back to high school
Well, I'll quit drinking AM ale
Don't wanna be no tool!
Let's go back to high school
(BREAK)
VERSE 2:
Runnin' outta time
This should be tight
Number 806
This can't be right!
We'll fight
To find a remedy
To solve a small calamity
Take a left downstairs and face the west
Navigation skills, we ain't the best
The test
A fail repeatedly
Must get to class immediately
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You're late!!
Uh-oh, we caught his attention
Damn straight!
Oh, and, boys, did I mention
I don't tolerate your tardiness state
Now you two have a date with...

Drink beer and hear some rock guitar!

And how much is transferred to my credit line?
Hey!
CHORUS
VERSE 2:

You're off on mental holiday

Is what we would like to be
Fancy free

We march all day
All across the land
We march to the river
And then back again
Now we got a clan
What is there to say?
We feast till we full
And then we march all day
Gonna march all day!
March all day!
We booze all night
At the end of day
Cuz we don't know

In the dark of night
When it's not so bright
Will be when our bark
Is better than our bite!
Gonna booze all night!
Booze all night!
Halt!

VERSE 1:
Life, it's a sleeping pill
When you're at a standstill
And time, well, you've had your fill
When you're at a standstill
(When you're at a standstill)
You'll try, but you never will
When you're at a standstill
Don't cry; it'll overkill
When you're at a standstill
(When you're at a standstill)
PRE-CHORUS 1:
And then one day, you touch the sky
Illumination fills your eyes
What you have lost, you might have found
Tell ya now!
CHORUS:
All the wheels are turnin' round
But we ain't goin' nowhere
All the leaves are turnin' brown
And we're still up in the air
VERSE 2:
Sometimes it can make you ill
When you're at a standstill
Won't climb the top of any hill
When you're at a standstill
(When you're at a standstill)
A dime, but you need a dollar bill
When you're at a standstill
A crime against your own damn will
When you're at a standstill
(When you're at a standstill)
PRE-CHORUS 2:
And then your day begins to rise
And there's no need for compromise
You've reached the point of higher ground
Tell ya now!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
When you're at a standstill
You fear to face the open space
Beyond your castle walls
When you're at standstill
You fear to fall
You can't move when you stall
Yeah!
When you're at a standstill!
PRE-CHORUS 3:
You'll be fine
And there's time to kill
When you're at a standstill
ALT CHORUS:
All the wheels are turnin' round
And now we're goin' somewhere
All the leaves are turnin' brown
And now we're walkin' on air

PART I:
VERSE 1:
You know we're living in a dog-eat-dog world
Everybody-gotta-be-a-glory-hog world
Never getting whatcha think you have in sight
Do ya fight?
(Let's go!)
Here comes the night
No matter what they get to bring you down, girl
Feeling like a human tilt-a-whirl
You kick and punch 'em back with all your might
The stormy weather's turning nice and bright!
CHORUS:
I hope you're doing alright
(Alright!)
(x3)
VERSE 2:
You know the land full of sand and water
It's getting cold, but it's gonna get hotter
Hibernating till the rain goes real tame
Works okay
(No snow!)
Go play a game
You're on a path and it's time to get a move on
I wanna see you, but the travel is so long
And I don't care if you're far out of sight
Just so I know that you're doing alright!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Are ya feeling fine?
Having happy times?
Want a little wine?
Were ya drinking mine?
ALT CHORUS:
I hope you're doing alright
(x4)
CHORUS

VERSE 1:
I hope you're doing fine, dear lady
I hope you're paving your own way
I hope you're doing fine, dear lady
Although deep down inside, I wanted you to stay
VERSE 2:
I hope you're doing fine, dear lady
I hope that nothing's gone too wrong
I hope you're doing fine, dear lady
And I admit you got a good thing going on
OUTRO:
I hope you're doing fine
Within the confines of sublime
Maybe you'll think of me
Dear lady
I hope you're doing fine
And though I wanted you as mine
Fulfill your prophecy
Dear lady
PART III:
VERSE:
Pamela
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'
Go make a home in West Canada
Pamela
Pamela
You should know that I'm not playin'
Submerse yourself in the coastal spa
Pamela
Pamela
Inside I am abstainin'
(And look outside, it's rainin')
Pamela
Pamela
Though I try to keep refrainin'
(The feeling is detainin')
Pamela
CHORUS:
Pamela!
(x2)
CHORUS
PART IV:
VERSE:
And now that it's laid to rest
I wish you all the best
But if fate ever changed
I would put it to the test
So until we meet again
Wish you all the best, my friend
With a new beginning comes another end
OUTRO:
And now that it's laid to rest
You continue on your quest
So farewell, and I wish you all the best
(I hope you're doing alright!)
