Hoobastank - The Dance That Broke My Jaw Lyrics
Hey man, I saw you standing thereYou were bobbing your head to the beat as your fists start to clinchOh so tightNo fear in your eyes, and also on your shirt (and hat and pants)Its your turn to show tonight, do your best to start a fightShow us all that you can dance with your elbows and your hands(dancing with friends, keeping the peace, if you didnt know Im being sarcastic)When you feel the crowd start to movePlease try to resist the urge that you getTry not to get upset and sock your neighbor right in the faceI know that coach meant wellBut whats a dance to you is a fight to someone elseKeep your anger aside, kick back, enjoy the rideAnd think how it could be if you showed some courtesyYour hostility, it grows so easilyYoure the next victim of the dance that broke my jawPlease dont get nearYoure the next victim of the dance that broke my jawHave some more beer, no fear gear is what you wearJust because the music beginsDoes not always mean a wrestling scene from wwfBreaks out right to my leftAnd I got a ringside ticketIll challenge you or anyone anywhereSometimes I just want the football thrown inLet the football game beginAnd then say to myself as I think of someone elseThats not what we came here for, well take no moreWhats going through your head?To the point that someone is deadKeep it up and youre out of here, youre out of hereAnd when youre outside by yourself and sitting all aloneKeep your head downCause were the ones that warned youYoure the next victim of the dance that broke my jawPlease dont get nearYoure the next victim of the dance that broke my jawCant we just be friends in here?Go drink some more beerKick your neighbors rearElbow to my earCant we just be friends in here?I was dancing by myself, and bothering no one elseWhen suddenly I was encountered by the beastI ask so politely, please just let me beBut the next thing I remember, Im staring at the ceilingSomeone please, help me call securityWas on my feet, but now Im on the floorThat shithead doesnt show respect to me or to youSo now hes out the doorNot gonna hurt us anymoreThat dance floor is free of hostilityAnd Im so glad hes goneIts our turn to have funMy message was clear, were all friends in hereBut were not allowed to do the dance that broke my jaw
