I like to wear striped shirts oh yeah
I bought several different colors and patterns oh yeah
It might seem like a silly useless thing to say
but I love to wear striped shirts every single day
and it doesn't bother anyone in any old way
because my friends don't judge me by the things I wear
that's a really good sign to show that they care
and I could even come dressed as a full-suit bear
and they wouldn't come attack in fact they'd pat me on the back

no matter what the trend
things are never gonna end no no

Somebody wants to fight me oh yeah
They're pushing shoving starting something oh yeah
You can knock my lights out I'll still open a door
You can sweep a series and have dirt on your own floor
You could sing your own song forevermore

well you might be able to rend
but things are never gonna end no no
even though your bones can bend
things are never gonna end no no

I'm feeling pretty sick oh yeah
I'm staying in bed all day oh yeah
Well I can't handle the taste of gingerale
I am not impressed when it goes on sale
and I feel no relief from listening to John Cale
I prefer Blowfish Hootie when I get cooties from you
But the feel good really comes from the 90s U2
and if I could drink a shake of pop to stop all this pain
then I would and I could if radiowaves were the rain

even if you've a fever to tend
things are never gonna end no no
well you might be on the mend
but things are never gonna end no no

I'm hanging out in Tokyo oh yeah
Seeing all the lights in Tokyo yeah
Well I don't know exactly where I am
that's what happens when you're tripping while you travel in Japan

you might have taken the wrong blend
but things are never gonna end
well you might be out of yen
but things are never gonna end no no

I don't have no money oh yeah
will someone pay for my drink oh yeah
you can have a pennyful of thoughts but not a dollar to your name
you can blame the CEOs but then youll just play their game
and whether you can pay or you cant i'll treat you just the same
and it doesn't matter which street that you're on
if you march to your own beat you got the feet you belong

even if you have nothing to lend
things are never gonna end no no

I met a really cute girl oh yeah
I met a really really cute girl yeah
Well how do you know how to make a move
and I'd rather say nothing and have us both find the groove
well for all of my life its never worked out
and when in youre in the situation its so easy to doubt
but without the strive to find some one who will share
who will be the other sock to make the perfect pair
well its enough to know youre trying with your soul to bare

well if you have some love to send
things are never gonna end no no
