There’s nothing like a day when nothing goes right And the thoughts keep you up in the middle of the night And the dog on the corner, barks so loud And your daddy goes insane from hearing that sound And your momma's cookin’ eggs that smell so bad Man it’s a day like this that just makes you mad It’s a day like this, just a day like this Well it’s a day like this, just a day like this Sometimes we all just (all just) smell like piss Well it’s a day like this, just a day like this [Attention students: It's a day like this] There’s nothing like a day when nothing seems right And you and your cat get in a huge fight And you woke up too early for school again And kids on the bus are real shit heads And the cute girls don’t even notice you And you trip and fall on your untied shoe There's nothing like a day when nothing feels right And the string goes snap on your brand new kite And you go to your room, and its full of wasps And your very favorite socks are totally lost And your lunch sucks nuts, and you crawl in a ball And you can't go to sleep 'cause your dad didn't call

Makin’ love to you is so easy and fun I can do it, I’m the best, I’m the number one I can make your body sweat with the touch of my thumb I can make your legs shake to the beat of my drum Climb into my car, let’s go for a drive It’s a really nice car, got my hands on your thighs And we’re going so fast that I can’t see the road But that’s really okay, got your lips on my own We’re the Renaissance Men And we’re here to say we like to sing songs in a very big way Playin' lots of tunes and we're playing 'em right Gonna keep you dancing all through the night Come on take a dive, take a dip in my pool Yeah we gotta keep it hot, but we gotta stay cool Makin’ lots of moves and I’m making em’ right Girl you claw me up when I turn out the light We're the honky-tonk gang and we're from down south We like to eat grits, we eat 'em with our mouth You're a pretty girl, you're a Georgia Peach We should settle down, I can massage your feet We're the very best boys And we’re makin’ love to you Got you climbin’ up the walls, and we know you like it too You’re a hot momma, and we’re really into you We’re the very best boys And we bid you adieu

Long nights and lonely sheets I feel the sweat dripping off of my feet Why’d you leave? Why’d you have to go? I have to ask because I don’t know I don't know what, and I don't know why I don't know what, and I don't know why I don't know what, and I don't know why I don't know what, and I don't know why I don't know what happened, I don't know what happened So long ago you made a vow That you’d never leave me somehow Well now you’re gone and it hurts so much It feels as if I’m walking with a crutch I close my eyes and my mom shuts the door Just be quiet I need to cry some more This weight on my heart keeps bogging me down I have no idea where you are now Come back to me! I need you to set me free! I might be, a diamond in the rough! But you always said that’s enough!

I looked in the mirror today and I think my hair is going away No it never ever, ever, ever went grey, it just got burnt on a sunny day Yeah, I tried all the creams, and I tried to get lice Not having hair is not very nice Tried to get a job, but they said "No! First you have to grow some hair bro." I cry myself to sleep, thinking "why did this happen to me?" Now my hair's all gone, as you can see, now I'm no longer me All my hair is gone, all my hair is gone No it didn't seem to take very long You know it all fell out, there's no reason to pout But now my hair is gone, all my hair is gone I saw Trevor in his sleep, and I didn't make a peep but I saw his bald head, and when he woke up, here's what he said, "Sometimes life can change in a day, and all you get is pain and dismay from a look in the mirror, and you wish and you pray for a brand new toupee." Well, Trevor is bald and there's no going back. When you're young and bald, your life's off track. At night I dream of what it's like to have a head full of hair, it feels so right Not this scalp on my head that's so cold Skin isn't feel good, it - it - oh. It's gone all my hair is gone, all my hair is gone No it didn't seem to take very long You know it all fell out, there's no reason to pout But now my hair is gone, all my hair is gone All my hair is gone, oh it's gone It's gone, gone away, won't come back on a sunny day I don't know what to do, but my hair is gone, and I blame you Tonight I won't cry, tonight I won't sleep I'm gonna get my hair back, I'm gonna shave off a sheep I'll put it on my head, that's all I can do Well, all my hair is gone, and I blame you

Is there something that you'd like to know? I tell you science is the way to go Set up a control and figure it out You'll learn what the world's all about What's in the ocean and why do I get sick? Science can tell you how you exist A bunsen burner and a beaker or two To understand science, that's what we all must do Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Science experiment Some foods are poison but some foods are sweet Learning and science can be really neat Some bugs are living and some bugs are dead Knowledge is power, it can go to your head

The Renaissance Men and we're here to stay The Renaissance Men, we're not going away Renaissance Men living on our own and I don't want to cry no more The Renaissance Men living in a sewer The Renaissance Men living on a skewer The Renaissance Men living in the yard and I don't want to hurt no more Bless me tender, bless me sweet Take me in and rub my feet I love you more than life itself and I don't want that pain no more Where were you when the bombs fell down? The bombs were so big Everyone, everywhere knew what they did They lit the fuse, what's the use? Get out of town They flipped the switch, they had an itch to blow the bombs down Well, Obama's got his finger in the cookie jar No matter where you are, stand where you are You know you are the best, yeah, yes you are It's got a top speed of twenty- far It's called a car, and we're driving real far If you put on your breaks - you stop America yeah Please excuse me if I ever say too much Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. Zero. My god, what have we done to ourselves? My dad, he has constructed this hell We are trapped like rats in a mouse-trap And my gods, they all ran away
