Happy Song 01:04
This is my happy song It’s not a crappy song Might be a sappy song But it is my happy song Your toes might tappy song And fingers snappy song But it’s a trappy song And it is my happy song

I was happily playing video games one night When I was struck with sudden fear I was brutally hit with all that I have to do Adulthood’s ugly head did rear How long can this go on? How long until we just stop caring? Swimming patterns against the tide We’re feigning progress to fuel our pride Too many choices I can’t decide Swimming patterns against the tide How long will all this nonsense last? Until we all tune out again? The longer that this thing drags out The faster my attention fades I want to stay inside It’s way too cold outside My food has been supplied Let’s build a fort and hide in here

I was out at a bar with a friend or two Not enjoying myself Then I thought of a plan to get out of there And it sorted itself When it all comes crashing down You'll know just where to go When you know it's time to leave Just go - don't move too slow When I'm feeling alone standing in a crowd And my mind's in the sky I just duck out of there and go somewhere else It's the Irish goodbye Well I've had such a great time But my bed is calling and I must go

Video Games 02:18
I don’t need your help and advice I’m good on my own, thank you Everything I needed to know I learned in kindergarten I don’t wanna go to school I don’t wanna go to work I don’t wanna do my chores I just wanna play video games Video games (video games) Video games (video games) I wanna stay home and play Video games (video games) I don’t wanna do homework I don’t wanna eat my beans I don’t wanna go to bed I just wanna play video games

Everything sucks when you're like me Grounded for life I'm never free Sooner or later you will so I don't respect authority Everything sucks when life's not fair My room has never felt so bare Not allowed to go anywhere But too bad for you I don't care Yes I know what I did was wrong But it makes for an awesome song, so... I don't have to listen to you I don't have to listen to you I don't have to listen to you I'm gonna do whatever I want Everything sucks when no one knows Mom never lets me go to shows Look outside and it always snows Grounded for life aw man this blows

When I first heard the driver song I thought it was the weirdest thing But I was drawn to listen more And they became my favorite band The sound that moved the earth The sound that proved its worth The sound that moved the earth The sound that proved its worth to me When I first heard the side two thing I didn't think much of it then But that's because I was a kid And now it's just my favorite part And we all have our influence And if you don't you'll find them soon You don't have to leave the house All you need is a record player Just sit back and hear some tunes Soon enough you'll be at the music store

On my way to be with you I got lost inside my head Guess I wasn't thinking straight And I made a left instead How did I end up out here In the stars and all the snow No I won't be here for long I just want to watch the show I pull over on the street By the snow that's piled so high I turn off the radio While they light the cloudless sky Someone calls and I decline Cherishing this time alone I don't mean to be so rude Noise is all I've ever known On my way to be with you I got lost inside my head Guess I wasn't thinking straight And I made a left instead

I've been standing here waiting for the elevator For what feels like an hour or so Now I'm thinking I might have made the wrong decision Man this stupid thing is way too slow Have you considered other steps You look like somebody who cares If you're concerned with making progress Maybe next time take the stairs I've been standing here waiting for a taxi driver For what feels like a day and a half It's too cold out and I have lost all shreds of patience No one to blame for this time wasting gaffe
9.
It's getting ridiculous This winter's nonsensical I just want to go somewhere And break this vicious cycle I'm getting cabin fever again I tried to leave the house And find some paradise But I could not get out My car's encased in ice So take me away from this And please put me on a plane Then fly me to some place warm And before I go insane I swear I'm seeing things that aren't there And I'm encased in ice stuck inside

Luna 05:22
And our mission was set in stone Travel outwards and touch the sky Knowing we might not make it home But still too good to pass it by And onward and upward We journey beyond us Our rocket will bond us So onward and upward When we broke through into the night Earth looked different from way up there Time meant nothing without daylight We found meaning beyond the air We fell in awe Our lunar flight was a success This starless sky Earth rises gives us our new day

Blanket Fort 03:40
Outside is a huge snowstorm I'm staying inside I'll build me a blanket fort Watch cartoons all night I checked the forecast and it sure looks grim Two feet of snowfall before Monday's end The cold air hits me with its phantom limb So I'll just stay here TV is my friend I've got my rations stocked My cupboards are all full I've got bread milk and beer I'm ready for this bull So nature do your worst Looked out my window it's incredible I can't see the house that's across the street This type of blizzard unforgettable Everything's closed so I'll retake my seat
