There's a static on my mic that I'll try to suppress
By singing simple songs I make up in my head
And then I'll pick up instruments and play a few
I'll probably even try to crack a joke or two
My drums are from machines or cases, cans, and spoons
I'll maybe miss a note or sing things out of tune
But I hope you see through these faults to know my heart is true
And I hope you enjoy The Static

My name is Josh, I'm a fan of the Yankees
If they lose a game, I get really cranky
But I'm crying all the time, because my team's really stanky
My name is Josh, I'm a fan of the Yankees
I'm a Yankee
My name is Josh and the Yanks are my team
They can run hard and hit fast inside of their dreams
But in real life their jerseys all burst at the seams
The Yankees eat a lot of burrito supremes
I'm a Yankee
They all call me Josh, so I guess that's me
I'm a Yank in my heart, and a Yank in my deeds
But I wish they'd call me Alex, and I have to concede
That I wrote this song with the help of P.E.D.s
I'm a Yankee

You Think It's Best

I was in a picture
With a couple of broken trees
You thought that I looked good there
Holes over my knees
And everything was perfect
In that frozen slice of time
Was it ever worth it
Leaving this behind
But you, you think it's best to run
You, you think it's best to run
You, you think it's best to run away
Sometime when I'm able
And my confidence is found
One might look behind you
To see me chase you down
But you, you think it's best to run
You, you think it's best to run
You, you think it's best to run away

When Tim was in the navy
He made a mighty splash
With the push of a button
He could turn the world to ash (he could nuke the entire planet, but he didn't)
And then he'd eat a ration
Or maybe two or three (three, four, five, six)
To keep the world safe
For you and me
When Tim was in the navy
I was just a little kid
They classified the files
On everything he did (with a big black permanent marker and a shredder)
These lyrics were redacted
By the D.O.D. (D - O - D - O - D - O)
To keep the world safe
For you and me
So if you see a sailor
You should be them a beer
They deal every day with
The things you and I fear (all kinds of terrible stuff and I bet they'd like a beer)
And our country was protected
When Tim was in the navy (America)
Keeping the world safe
For you and me
Yeah Tim kept the world safe
For you and me (for more information about enlisting in the navy, please visit your local recruiter)

So What Am I?

You're the light
You're the daytime and the night
You're the symptom and the drug
You're the seas
You're the tides and you're the beach
You're the leak that I can't plug
So what am I?
So what am I?
You're the grass
You're the winter come and pass
And I just watch the ice melt
You're the wind
You're the sinner and the sin
You're the things I never felt
So what am I?
So what am I?
Can't you see
You're the things I want to be
And the things I know I can't
'Cause you're the flowers
You're the seconds and the hours
I am just another man
So what am I?
So what am I? (so what? so what?)

You might find some at the grocery store and in the movies, too
An oasis in the jungle, well it'd surely have a few (these would be way easier to find at the store)
You might see some on a pirate ship in an old cartoon (yarrr)
And I think that I might eat one soon
Say what?
Say what?
Coconut
Have some with your breakfast, it's a cereal bowl too (this milk, delicious)
You could use one as a bowling ball, or a bathing suit (come on baby, put on your coconut)
The sky is the limit with this amazing fruit (I love it)
And I think that I might eat one soon
Say what?
Say what?
Coconut
Say what?
Say what?

Hospital, baby crib
High chair, in a bib
Grammar school, math class
Check a box, and hope I pass
Back seat, family truck
Shrink's couch, pass the buck
Batter's box, take a swing
A tent made from a tarpaulin
High school, summer work
Dorm room with other jerks
First apartment, car crash
Back at mom's in a flash
Behind the fourth wall on a stage
Prison for a couple days
Automatic rifle range
Dead end job that barely pays
I'm in a box, I'm in a box
I wanna go outside, outside
Army barracks, bullet train
Grocery store checkout lane
Port-A-John, church pew
Bath tub, confession booth
Doctor's office, cancer
Hypobaric chamber
Airplace cabin, cruise around
In a casket, underground
Can someone let me out of these boxes?
I wanna go outside, outside

Grocery Store Robbery

I was working at the grocery store when you walked in
You asked me for the cash, and you flashed a grin
You pulled out a pistol, told me to freeze
So I put my hands up, got down on my knees
And I said "Hey man, I just work here, and none of this shit is mine
So you take what you'd like, that'd be fine"
I said "I am not a hero, they do not pay me to die
You can have the money, I don't mind"
I peed my pants a little, hoped you didn't see
I wouldn't want you to think I'm cowardly
So I offered you the groceries, everything we got
I hope I made it clear that I didn't want to get shot
And I said "Hey man, I just work here, and none of this shit is mine
So you take what you'd like, that'd be fine"
I said "I am not a hero, they do not pay me to die
You can have the money, I don't mind"
I was fired 'cause I didn't stand up to you
I'd still shop there but I can't afford the food
So I stole me a handgun from some stupid jerk
Went back to that store, flashed it at the new clerk
And he said "Hey man, I just work here, and none of this shit is mine
You take what you'd like, and that'd be fine"
He said "I am not a hero, they do not pay me to die
You can have the money, I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind one bit
Please take it
Just take it"
