Safety First

by Llama Tsunami

supported by

jgett They sound exactly like what you would expect a ska band from Connecticut to sound like. There are so many songs that I can't help but sing along to (get over yourself/cat in a box/the perks of being a wah-flower etc.) however; as a non-user, I would have to go with "Facebook Famous" as my favorite. "it's funny 'cus it's true!" Favorite track: Facebook Famous.

Christian Modern!! Living proof that Ska is still Fun and Serious!

With a little bit of recollection we’re bound to find our own direction With a healthy dose of anger it’s time for you to leave so cut it Out there in the world it gets so hard to know who’s friend or foe Got pulled into the undertow; goes to show, got to let go Look left, look right, but don’t look away Wanna let you know we’ve got something to say We’ve got the right to be heard Getting fed up with the way you put us down Don’t put us off or we’ll push you around This time you’ll take us at our word Revolution doesn’t mean you gotta turn around With your hands on your ears and your back to the crowd Saying “la la la la I can’t hear you” So it’s time to take the blinders off your eyes And realize no matter how hard you try You can’t push us around anymore We won’t go back to the way it was before Look left, look right, but don’t look away Wanna let you know we’ve got something to say We’ve got the right to be heard Getting fed up with the way you put us down Don’t put us off or we’ll push you around This time you’ll take us at our word In order to fight the power you need the power to fight tonight the hour is Right now is the time for it to fall.When we’ve got nothing you’ve got it All I know is something’s not right All I know is something’s not right Right here, right now We can turn this world around Right here, right now We’re saying Look left, look right, but don’t look away Wanna let you know we’ve got something to say We’ve got the right to be heard Getting fed up with the way you put us down Don’t put us off or we’ll push you around This time you’ll take us at our word
2.	Electric Car Repo Man 03:09	lyrics	buy track
When people are filled with lies, Will you hear six billion cries? And what if someone sees a sign? Kill them off; pretend we're fine. The answer was not what we need. Who the hell needs progress? Greed. We're backwards walking zombies, taking eyes; and no one sees. Electric Car Repo Man, Take away our future just because you can. There is nothing on our minds, As we fall far behind, we fall far, far behind. A god-like presence in the past, power that could never last. And I won't pay unless it's good, Give it to the rich; I never would. The answer was not what we need. Who the hell needs progress? Greed. We’re killing for a piece of the pie. Someone's wrong; it's you this time. Electric Car Repo Man, Take away our future just because you can. There is nothing on our minds, As we fall far behind, we fall far, far behind.
3.	Get Over Yourself 02:43	lyrics	buy track
I still remember the very first time that I saw your face, my heart started race You were the cutest girl in my homeroom, the whole room liked you, my home boys thought so too I knew it then you were too good for me, you wouldn’t be the one for me cause Back then I didn’t have a chance with my spiky hair and checkered wrist bands It’s hard to be the man you’re looking for When you’re being blatantly ignored Four years of high school done before I had the guts to say to you Get over yourself Get over yourself Get over yourself And get with me I should’ve known you’d laugh right in my face but I’ll give you space in case you face up To your selfish self or anybody else, won’t meet the man of your dreams until you wake up I’d like to think in a little time you’d give me your heart and I’d give you mine but I’m resigned to the hope to find another woman only half as fine because I can’t seem to get over you I guess you had that problem too You hold yourself in the highest regard Is it really all that hard to Get over yourself Get over yourself Get over yourself And get with me First day of college, what do you know? Your room was right across the hall You ignored me when I said “hello” Oh, that’s just the way that it goes Get over yourself Get over yourself Get over yourself I’m over you
4.	Sunny Day 04:25	lyrics	buy track
It’s time to take the plunge; it’s as steep as a mountain And if I try to run, you know they’ll catch me if they can And I can’t pretend like I’m someone to count on It’s time to make amends; is this what it takes to be a man? Once again I look around and no one else is home I’m okay all by myself but I hate being alone Never had a single place that I could call my own Feel the pressure building; tomorrow I’ll be gone Then a glimpse of summer time Takes the weight right off my mind In the nick of time I’m fine again I leave my trials behind Forgotten for a while I break out in a smile Soaking up the rays On this sunny day They say the end has come, but we just got started How could I be so dumb easily outsmarted I couldn’t see how it could be, naivety could ruin me They cut me free intentionally and no one’s there to help me I’m alone Indecision strikes again and I can’t make up my mind I could use your insight here cause lately I’ve been blind They push me forward and then pull me from behind Don’t know where I’m going but it’s gonna be alright Then a glimpse of summer time Takes the weight right off my mind In the nick of time I’m fine again I leave my trials behind Forgotten for a while I break out in a smile Soaking up the rays On this sunny day

6.	Cat in a Box 03:39	lyrics	buy track
I put my cat in a box. Don’t know if she’s alive or dead. Won’t know until I look at it. I put my cat in a box. She’s been in there a while now. Can’t move because it’s weighted down. Don’t know what to feel, I don’t know what I’ll see. But inside that box Could be the end of… I put my cat in a box. I’m sure it’s dark and lonely there. Not sure if I’m supposed to care. I put my cat in a box. She might be long dead I fear. Check after I get a beer. Don’t know what to feel, But I know what I’ll see. And inside that box It was the end of… I put my cat in a box. Where did I even get the box? I was still happy before the box. I was still whole before the box. I should have nailed shut that damn box. I put my cat into a box. I put my cat, I put my cat into a box.
7.	Nothing's Changed 05:30	lyrics	buy track
What's stopping me from walking out the door Away from me and you? We both know the truth. Everybody's afraid of something new. And possibly, you could lie to me, But fortunately you never do. Oh no, not you. So please tell me what to do. And we'll never be the same again But they tell me nothing's changed I know we'll be okay in the end But we'll never be the same What's it take to recognize he pain we've bottled up so deep inside? You and I It's just a feeling we get from being alive. It's just a consequence of all the false pretense I wanna make amends For all that we've been through. Me and you I'm down on one knee, you're somebody I can't lose. And it’ll never be the same again But they tell me nothing's changed I know we'll be okay in the end But we'll never be the same Spent my life always wondering, wanting more. Can you tell me just what we're living for? Everybody says one thing; I'm not sure If there’s anything worth dying for.
8.	Josh Quit the Band 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Let me take you back to when it all began We were all together and we were the best of friends Despite our better judgment we decided to form a ska band How could we have known the way it would end? From the very start, he didn't know his part but he know how to party He had a beat up horn and his humor was a bit uncouth But you gotta admit that guy could get the ladies started And his facial hair was something to behold A few years down the road, he never missed a show; he came to every one But he started to wonder if we would notice if he was gone So he packed his trumpet up one day, got in his car, and he drove away We were begging him to stay, now we're sorry to say Josh quit the band Said we'd never understand his reasons We took advantage and took for granted he'd be there at the show We thought it was an empty threat; now it's all over the internet Nothing is going as we planned Josh quit the band As the days went by we realized he was never coming back We'd have to get along without him Still it seems that he is taunting us on every track It's like he never left; his trumpet’s in my ear Josh quit the band Said we'd never understand his reasons We took advantage and took for granted he'd be there at the show We thought it was an empty threat; now it's all over the internet Nothing is going as we planned Josh quit the band
9.	The Perks of Being a Wah-Flower 04:02	lyrics	buy track
Friday night, I was thinking about going home But then I saw you there all alone I wanted to talk to you but you quickly slipped into the ladies room Well I guess the time was wrong Who ya taking to the disco baby? Might as well be me Who ya taking to the disco baby? Why can’t you see I’ve been searching for you a long time You’re coming with me Who ya taking to the disco baby? Hey baby won’t you please come over here and dance with me? Doesn’t matter if you think I’m ugly cause you’ll get your drinks for free Who ya taking to the disco baby? Might as well be me Who ya taking to the disco baby? Why can’t you see I’ve been searching for you a long time You’re coming with me Who ya taking to the disco baby?
10.	Fission Fragment 04:11	lyrics	buy track
Poison engage let down and charge on through This thing won't trip 'til I do What you call primary doesn't even touch the core I want to keep my head afloat But I can't find a reason to stay on the boat And don't try to stop me cause I know there's something more To the world we're on than the state of neutrons I can't say nature cause you got the sun I don't understand you but that's happened times before And to top it off you'll see this song As a sin wave function x meters long It's just a hunch but a safe one to be sure And I am nothing but a fission fragment Just a blip on the screen of the old oscilloscope I tell myself stick it out, don't relent But the laws of science are making it hard to cope You can't know now but you'll soon find When you choose a new path you're gonna leave behind A few you love while you're running with your fear When you look real close it's just too bad Each excuse you'll make in the name of --- Seeking somewhere else what you could have learned right here If it's any consolation I can see that now And the time is gonna come for you to take your bow Your sense of understanding was so real I can't believe you take my shit When you understand I can't quite quit And I promise to return when my hands have found the wheel But I'm still nothing but a fission fragment Just a blip on the screen of the old oscilloscope I tell myself stick it out don't relent But every single year makes it harder just to cope I'm not nothing I'm a fission fragment I'm the blip on the screen of the old oscilloscope I tell myself that a few won't relent And I hope you never do cause without that I can't cope

TRENT “Screw you!” he said, ignoring my pleas for assistance Why don't you just pack your bags and go away? I sell shoes for farmers to wear while walking through cow fields What can you do when you’re working for that minimum wage? I’ve got some cigarettes in my car, I'm gonna go fill my lungs with tar After workin', I'll get drunk, 'cause I got a thirty-rack in my trunk Fuck those assholes, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner (Reiner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) Shove your pick-ax in their pool liner (liner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) It's nothing new; my life's a disaster; within my crew they even think I'm a bastard But those phonies think that they're so cool; just wait 'til they see what we did to their pool Fuck those assholes, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner (Reiner, Reiner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) Shove your pick-ax in their pool liner, (Liner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) DWAYNE Hey, all of you stuck-up rich kids seem to be clones I pull through, but it’s a struggle every day You’ve gotta choose, you fight or fly; you act or postpone I’ve got news; Dwayne is back and here to stay I've got Lorenzo on my side; he's coming with a box of twenty-five, Two dozen glazed just for me; the other one is his jelly Fuck those assholes, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner (Reiner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) Shove your pick-ax in their pool liner (liner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) I think I know who I am today, and who are they to talk about my friends that way? But those scumbags think they're so good; just wait 'til they see us back in their neighborhood Fuck those assholes, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner (Reiner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner) Shove your pick-ax in their pool liner (Liner, Blake Daily and Tommy Reiner)

Oh my god I just can’t believe it You’ve got a lot of nerve to show your face round here Go away I don’t want to see you I’d give anything to make you disappear Make you disappear Show your face round here Make you disappear, show your face round here Wish that you weren’t near I never liked you anyway What made you think that that could change, anyway? What a waste of our time Time is money and you’ve got mine I hope you’re happy cause I’m fine I don’t need you, so goodbye I guess it’s time For me to admit it I never really got over the things you did to me Well that’s fine It doesn’t really matter You found someone else who makes you so happy Makes you so happy Happier than me Makes you so happy, happier than me Wish that you could see I never liked you anyway What made you think that that could change, anyway? What a waste of our time Time is money and you’ve got mine I hope you’re happy cause I’m fine I don’t need you, so goodbye (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) I don’t need you anymore No I don’t, no I don’t need you I got one foot out the door I know that we’re through
13.	Swallowed in Blue 04:01	lyrics	buy track
They say that time erases, but memory's my curse. And I think I'm replacing those times that were my worst. I thank whatever force is driving me for leading me to your eyes. And since I've found you now I never wanna say goodbye. I am learning who I want to be Tossing, turning when you're not sleeping next to me. I am burning to really make you see I'll be returning. I can guarantee. Having your arms around me just feels so right. I try to get as close as I can to you but it never gets too tight. I believe I’m flying higher than I've ever been when I'm with you. And I know that the clouds will welcome us and swallow us in blue. I am learning who I want to be Tossing, turning when you're not sleeping next to me. I am burning to really make you see That I'll be returning. I can guarantee. You got me soaring so high You got me soaring so high with the clouds passing by. I never wanna let you go. Arms outstretched so you catch me if I fall. You never miss a beat. Tell me that you love me.

Get into the room, set up the stage Everybody in the band is ready to play Who could ask for anything more All the kids are ready to get out on the dance floor Everybody’s ready for the show Finish your beer it's time to go Check the set list for the song Then we start to play and they all sing along And I'll never forget my first time I learned to dance at the ska show I learned to dance at the ska show I love to skank when I’m in the pit Third wave, two tone, any of it If you don't know how just follow the rest It's real easy; there're just two steps (ONE) Take your left foot and your right hand Throw em out in front of your body and (TWO) Do the same with the other side Now you're ready for the dance floor, alright Do it in a circle!
