Frontside air - you beef

controted andrecht contest sweep
I put a wheel in her right hand
I put a wheel in her left hand
I put a wheel between her legs
I used my Grandma as a skateboard
And we went up and down
And we went 'round and 'round
We did the Alley-Hop, we did the Acid-Drop
Went down a hill and we took a spill
And now Grandma is dead!
I’m trying hard, oh what the fuck I just can’t skate,
But I don’t really like those rollerblades,
So how the fuck am I supposed to be punk rock,
If every member of the crew thinks I’ am a loser,
I’m not a loser, I’m not a loser.
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Make me feel alright,
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Oh years along,
I'm a loser when I step on my skateboard.
I really enjoy to watch MTV sports all night,
While I’m listening to The Offspring,
So why the fuck I just can’t skate through the freeway,
I wanna be the greatest, fuck, am I lame?
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Make me feel alright,
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Oh years along,
I'm a loser when I step on my skateboard.
I think tonight i’m gonna make it,
I’m gonna wear a baseball cap,
Or maybe i dye my hair, ‘cause you know,
I’m gonna show those fucking bastards i’m not a loser!
I can skate, you’re the fucking losers, you fucked up queers!
I can skate, you fucked up losers!
I know how to skate and i will skate!
Fuck you, you fucking losers!
Fuck off!
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Make me feel alright,
Skateboard,
Maybe tonight,
I’m a loser,
Oh years along,
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can run
If miles turned to inches
You know he might roll
All the way around the world tonight
Look at him go
No jumping off the ride
At 30 miles an hour
Iron brains and ball bearings
Give him the power
(Whoa whoa)
Take a look
(Whoa whoa)
Look at that man oh yeah
(Whoa whoa)
You can see it
That man is free
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
You got to see him to beleive him
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
You got to hear him there's no fear in that man
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
He's like a mean molten gold
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Lord, he's got to have his story told
(Can't you fear you're fallin')
Tounge tip slipin' in and out like a lizard
(Can't you fear you're callin')
Ah, good God that man's a damn wizard
(Can't you hear 'em callin')
Black hair snapn' like a bull whip in the air
(Can't you feel 'em fallin')
Red roll'n wheels runin' for the downhill dare me
He knows how to use his hands
Perfectly balanced fore arms stand
In a hundred degre desert sand
You know I'd trade my boo for that man
I trade my boo for that boo
(C'mon man you're just a bad fool)
He's got the feeling about women's
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Faster than I can roll
Whoa whoa whoa mama
Here I go whoa again
Too fast on the downhill
Hey, man, get off the phone.
Did you hear the new song by the Ramones?
Hey, man, summer's here.
I'm cruising down the sidewalk; I got no beer.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
Hey, man, I got a job
Screwing in light bulbs and doorknobs.
Hey, man, I may be ugly,
But I don't wanna be no teen heartthrob.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I don't wanna go to parties 'cause people are so mean.
I'd rather stay at home and read the Trasher magazine.
Hey, man, get out of my way.
I'm cruising down the sidewalk, and I'm okay.
Hey, man, I'd rather skate.
It's time to go thrash to JFA.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride my skateboard.
I gotta go ride,
I gotta go ride,
I put a wheel in her right hand
I put a wheel in her left hand
I put a wheel between her legs
I used my Grandma as a skateboard
And we went up and down
And we went 'round and 'round
We did the Alley-Hop, we did the Acid-Drop
