The Dance That Broke My Jaw Lyrics

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 neighbour
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 sh*thead 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
