The Dance That Broke My Jaw Lyrics - They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To - Hoobastank

Hey man, I saw you standing there 

You were bobbing your head to the beat as your fists start to clinch 

Oh so tight 

"No Fear" in your eyes, and also on your shirt (and hat and pants) 

It's your turn to show tonight, do your best to start a fight 

Show us all that you can dance with your elbows and your hands 

(Dancing with friends, keeping the peace, if you didn't know I'm being 

sarcastic) 

When you feel the crowd start to move 

Please try to resist the urge that you get 

Try not to get upset and sock your neighbor right in the face 

I know that coach meant well 

But what's a dance to you is a fight to someone else 

Keep your anger aside, kick back, enjoy the ride 

And think how it could be if you showed some courtesy 

Your hostility, it grows so easily 

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw 

Please don't get near 

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw 

Have some more beer, "No Fear Gear" is what you wear 

Just because the music begins 

Does not always mean a wrestling scene from WWF 

Breaks out right to my left 

And I got a ringside ticket 

I'll challenge you or anyone anywhere 

Sometimes I just want the football thrown in 

Let the football game begin 

And then say to myself as I think of someone else 

That's not what we came here for, we'll take no more 

What's going through your head? 

To the point that someone is dead 

Keep it up and you're out of here, you're out of here 

And when you're outside by yourself and sitting all alone 

Keep your head down 

Cause we're the ones that warned you 

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw 

Please don't get near 

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw 

Can't we just be friends in here? 

Go drink some more beer 

Kick your neighbor's rear 

Elbow to my ear 

Can't we just be friends in here? 

I was dancing by myself, and bothering no one else 

When suddenly I was encountered by the beast 

I ask so politely, "please just let me be" 

But the next thing I remember, I'm staring at the ceiling 

Someone please, help me call security 

Was on my feet, but now I'm on the floor 

That shithead doesn't show respect to me or to you 

So now he's out the door 

Not gonna hurt us anymore 

That dance floor is free of hostility 

And I'm so glad he's gone 

It's our turn to have fun 

My message was clear, "We're all friends in here" 

But we're not allowed to do the dance that broke my jaw
