Beatdown In The Key Of Happy Lyrics
Hit the pavement and drive for the first time in a long time
And pray that everything works out fine
She said try to have a good time
And get your fill of cheap thrills
And try anything to save a dime
So lets get moving, and lets get grooving
To every single word weve grown to know
Until we get car sick, play our hands quick
And try to save ourselves along the way
Youre a gamble
And Ive got nothing left to lose or prove
You think you got me in the back of you pocket and you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cuz I love these girls but I hate this town
But Im positive that theres nothing about you to get to know
Hit the lights and get down for the best time in a long time
And try to think of every last line
She said, Try to have a good time,
Dont put up with the hard hits,
Theyll just hit you harder every time
That you get moving, youll just keep losing
What little but of mind that you have left.
So try and please me, and take it easy
And try to keep your thoughts above the belt.
Youre a gamble
And Ive got nothing left to lose or prove
You think you got me in the back of you pocket and you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cuz I love these girls but I hate this town
But Im positive that theres nothing about you to get to know
And pray that everything works out fine
She said try to have a good time
And get your fill of cheap thrills
And try anything to save a dime
So lets get moving, and lets get grooving
To every single word weve grown to know
Until we get car sick, play our hands quick
And try to save ourselves along the way
And Ive got nothing left to lose or prove
You think you got me in the back of you pocket and you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cuz I love these girls but I hate this town
But Im positive that theres nothing about you to get to know
And try to think of every last line
She said, Try to have a good time,
Dont put up with the hard hits,
Theyll just hit you harder every time
That you get moving, youll just keep losing
What little but of mind that you have left.
So try and please me, and take it easy
And try to keep your thoughts above the belt.
And Ive got nothing left to lose or prove
You think you got me in the back of you pocket and you do
So take a breath and try to keep it down
Cuz I love these girls but I hate this town

i think the concept of the song is just to forget everything and start living life again with a new way of thinking - which is to love life for being alive and have a good time. not sure
Hit the pavement and drive for the first time in a long time And pray that everything works out fine She said try to have a good time And get your fill of cheap thrills And try anything to save a dime So let's get moving, and let's get grooving To every single word we couldn't know Til we get carsick and play our hands quick And try to save ourselves along the way
You're a gamble; you've got nothing left to lose You think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do So take a breath and try to keep it down Cause I love these girls but I hate this town But I'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know
Hit the lights and get down for the last time in a long time And try to think of every last line She said try to have a good time Don't put up with the hard hits They'll just hit you harder every time That you get moving; you'll just keep losing What little bit of mind that you have left So try and please me, but take it easy And try to keep your thoughts above the belt

i think raptor's pretty much right about the meaning.
but it could also go with a relationship. driving and praying that things work out fine are ways of coping with struggles. 'last lines' could mean they won't see each other for awhile, which could explain these struggles and the advice 'she' gives to him. the first lines of the chorus describe someone deep into someone else ("you think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do", etc.)
but i can't help but think the last line of the chorus ("but i'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know") can be applied to how most people generically say 'get to know me' when they're pretty much the same as everyone else. or maybe he's teasing the girl for saying it?
i dunno, just what i thought. xD
the "or prove" is in the demo version which is what i'm guessing the person who wrote out these lyrics had been listening to.
i don't hear the 'or prove' part...?
can't stop listening to this song at the moment 'you're a gamble, i've got nothing left to lose you think you got me in the back of your pocket you do take a breath, and try to keep it down cos i love these girls but i hate this town but i'm positive there's nothing about you to get to know' that for me atm just applies really well to how i'm feeling about everything right now, my friends, the city i live in, and the way i feel about the guy i like i love four year strong i intend on seeing them very soon :)
I almost feel bad for the people who have not yet discovered this amazing band.
True, these guys are definitely getting more and more popular, but with their highest comments/song being 17 currently... There's definitely going to be a boom I'm sure.
O yea there has been.. i started listenin to them like a year and a half ago, and saw them at taste of chaos and have been obsessed ever since! they are fuckin incredibly good live! and now everyone listens to em!

in my opinion, i think this song is about being in a band and touring and playing shows.

-this part is self explanatory, being on the road, hanging out
You're a gamble; you've got nothing left to lose You think you got me in the back of your pocket, you do So take a breath and try to keep it down Cause I love these girls but I hate this town But I'm positive that there's nothing about you to get to know
-saying the music industry is a gamble, and it "has him in the back of its pocket" because he truly loves music and will do anything to live out the dream. i dunno what the girls part is about. maybe groupies lol.

yep, that's my take on it.
yeah ive never heard the "or prove" part of the chorus, but it always shows up in the lyrics..
the "or prove" part was in the demo's, but they killed it when they came out with the album. It was a little too rushed with it in there
