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 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
