At the Show
At the Show (3/2/2006)
I’m sitting on my hands to try focus on my writing
But I can’t come to a stand, feeling hopeless but I’m rhyming
In the shadows where you find me with the volume ever growing
And the music in my ear to help express what I’ve been holding
Cause I’m tired of the scolding and of all my fucking hatred
I’m sick of losing words while you test my fucking patience
And this is how I take it, I just throw that volume skyward
Head banging it away til there’s nothing left on my nerve
So flail your fucking hands and elevate that body
Take it to the band and leave it disembodied
Come and join the fans and let it fucking go
Nobody stands a chance, now let it fucking blow!
So, go!
Dance!
Everybody scream!
And let them jump around and sweat in ecstacy
Jumping til it bleeds and everything’s exposed
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump at the fucking show
In the front we’re going deaf, but too busy going mental
The thrashing never stops even when we’re sentimental
Cause those people in the back would kill to fill our spaces
So we need to fucking jump and present our fucking cases
Cause everybody’s earned this, but we’re the one’s who need it
We’re tearing at the seems of the clothing of the cheated
When everything’s been seeded and the gun is cocked and loaded
Our feet up off the ground by the pressure we’ve been holding
So flail your fucking hands and elevate that body
Take it to the band and leave it disembodied
Come and join the fans and let it fucking go
Nobody stands a chance, now let it fucking blow!
So, go!
Dance!
Everybody scream!
And let them jump around and sweat in ecstacy
Jumping til it bleeds and everything’s exposed
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump at the fucking show
(slows down)
Let’s slow this down a minute and take it for a spin
Some people have their pills, this is my own medicine
Sweat pouring from my skin, heat spilling from my heartache
I’m busting with the pain til every fucking scar breaks
And if all this shit is our fate, I’ll go with double doseage
A note for every heart break, prescription for the motion
Cause everytime I’m jumping my entire world is perfect
So get off your fucking ass and learn to make this worth it!
So, go!
Dance!
Everybody scream!
And let them jump around and sweat in ecstacy
Jumping til it bleeds and everything’s exposed
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking…
Go!
Dance!
Everybody scream!
And let them jump around and sweat in ecstacy
Jumping til it bleeds and everything’s exposed
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump when we’re at the fucking show
That’s the way we jump at the fucking show!
Notes: This is just a hard rocking, Limp Bizkit style song. I’ve been frustrated and tired of thinking and I just remembered how fun it can be at a rock show sometimes, so I wrote about it. This is one of those songs that I wish I could one day perform. It would make the crowd go nuts, I know.
