Lyrics:

Goddamn! Hit me with the monster jam,
Allow me to show you who I am,
And also let me introduce the band,
Atomic Walrus making noise in this LA land

And our plan is to take it all the way to Japan,
Crowd-surfing in a foreign land,
Award tourin' with a mic in my hand,
A Tribe Called AW is in demand

Now let me give it away like Tony Kiedis in the nineties,
Pancakes for breakfast, for lunch I eat Chinese,
I pour some buffalo sauce into my IV,
'Til I'm piping hot like Jessica Biel's hiney

Oh lord, we at it again,
Jammin' a funky tune and no, we're not making amends,
We make the music that'll turn all of your enemies to friends,
We never will stop, we're gonna be rocking with you till the very end

[Chorus]

It's times like these when you get down to the rhythm,
With style, with ease, gimme that,
It's times like these, when you get down to the rhythm
With style, with ease,
Got the shit that makes you wanna get up off your fuckin' ass and...

'Cause I'ma bring it to you live and direct, with ties on the neck,
The music's made groovy when you jive with the best,
Livin' life like a live wire, wild as the rest,
Got the style to impress and the rhymes to undress,

Your hottie, with flows shoddy, and nose snotty
Knows what she wants and she wants my body,
So get up on the dance floor everybody and...

Shake around like a mechanical bull,
I'm jumping on stage like a muthafuckin' fool,
Man I use my left brain as a grammatical tool,
While my right brain is telling me to act a fool

I'm back with a slew of furious flows for the family,
Peace to all the clubs and dive bars that handle we,
It's insanity,
Rap on every topic with that point-counterpoint like that fucker Sean Hannity

[Chorus]

Ladies and gentleman, gentle ladies and bedouins,
Take a peek at this regiment, get it 'fore you forget again,
The recommended dose of my musical medicine,
Will get your girlfriend hot in the bed and givin' you head again

Sweeter than cinnamon, flow like a hydro-glycerin,
Got other rappers twisted and pissed again,
They're in a pickle, a thick and fickle predicament,
They sick of it, go eat a Chick-O-Stick, you fuckin' chicken-shit

[Chorus]

Pancakes 'n Chinese

Lyrics:

Hi, my name is Joe and well you probably haven't heard of me,
I wanted to be a rapper, so I got some neurosurgery,
They implanted a sick sense of flow into my cranium, 
Now I rock the Staples Center, Roxy, and Palladium

I'm lying, shit, I don't really rock those venues,
But I tend to rock the fuck out of these instrumentals,
I'm sent here to impress you, undress your women and bless you,
Competition isn't an issue, we just kill 'em and say that we miss you, but….

See I'm the kinda guy who when the ladies see me,
They be sayin', "Yeah, hes kinda fly"
I got some fucked teeth and a pretty big nose, 
But I kick the sick flows to help me direct them to the show

It's kinda ridiculous, 
'cause when I pick up the pen and write some lyrics, I get meticulous,
And then, I rewrite 'em and do it again, and again and again…

I need to find a way to make things right again,
To make things right again, like they were at the start,
But I can't see a way of doing that, a way of doing that...

I'm a mind mechanic, creep inside of ya lame brain,
Just to maintain and rewire ya fuckin' main frame,
Not rappin' to gain fame, just to be heard,
I rock the levels with my treble and replace the reverb, ya turd

Three and a third, that's the chance you got of makin' it,
While I be in the kitchen with ya chicken probably bakin' it
Yes, my flow is different, there's no chance of mistakin' it,
My pride, you've already taken it, but these words are replacin' it

My aim is to be in your top five favorite,
I hope you play this shit, and smoke a J with it,
That way when I'm older I can put this on my greatest hits playlist,
Wrinkle up and get all gray to it

Un-debatably the greatest caucasian to rock the station,
Man I play to win, but I'm not including the major names, like Eminasium,
Or Eminem I mean, smoking a J, blazin' with Asian friends, and...

I need to find a way to make things right again,
To make things right again like they were at the start,
But I can't see a way of doing that,
A way of doing that, without breaking a….. 

In the back, man she looked pretty, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty,
"Make it right again, make it right again…"
In the back, man she looked pretty, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty,
"Make it right again, make it right again…"

[Instrumental break]

I need to find a way to make things right again,
To make things right again like they were at the start,
But I can't see a way of doing that,
A way of doing that, without breaking a….. 

In the back, man she looked pretty, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty,
"Make it right again, make it right again…"
In the back, man she looked pretty, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty,
"Make it right again, make it right again…"

Lyrics:

I, I, I, I, I really need her,
(He, he, he, he needs to leave her)
I, I, I, I, I really need her,
Ohhhhh... Justin Bieber!

Pretty little lady, it's impossible to see it,
I'm pushing you away but you're still holding on to me,
And I can't stand up, you're right on top of me,
I'm feeling so alone when I'm in your company

I said I've gotta lotta things that I've been wanting to say,
But it doesn't even matter cuz I'm leaving you today,
And you've got a million reasons why you think that i should stay,
But the one thing that I know is that I gotta get away

She's no good...

Well i tried to save it but theres nothing there to save,
And I tried to tell this girl, but she put me right back into my place, 
She's no good...

Spins me like a record player,
I lose my breath need a respirator,
Not a housewife, can't ever domesticate her,
Not Sherlock would even investigate her

I'm knee deep in the game of love and hate,
Free me from the chains I must escape, 
Everybody that I know and everybody that I see,
Keeps tellin' me, I just made a mistake

I'm workin' overtime for minimum wage,
I'm sleepin' in a bed with venomous snakes,
I'm steppin' on a crack with a knife in my back,
Workin' hard to receive a penny a day

But I think I really need her (he really needs to leave her!)
I can't be alone I need someone to love and be there
I think I really need her (he really needs to leave her!)
I, I, I, I, I,  I gotta be free

She's not wicked, but twisted, with with a red tube of lipstick,
And a little sadistic, for instance she kiss with,
Her eyes open, but so cold, I'm wide open with no hope,
I got no control of the situation, and no time for this blindfold

I tend to walk a narrow path, a fine line
Between havin' my heart bright forever and never even gettin' to shine,
That's why I'm trying to let my true essence shine, in every rhyme that I spit written in every line it's like.....

[Instrumental break] 

Pretty little lady, it's so obvious to see it, 
And the way you treated me, well girl I still cannot believe it,
I tried so hard, but then I lost my head, 
I fought with you for hours should have kicked you out instead,

But see I got this little problem, call it emotional debt,
And your actions and your words, no I will not soon forget,
You cried so hard, you pushed me to the edge,
I hear the sirens so I'm jumping off the ledge

I really need her,
I really need her,
I really need her,
I really need her

Justin Bieber,
Justin Bieber,
Justin Bieber,
Justin Bieber

Lyrics by Joe Kellman & Max Cohen:

I think I'm losing something
Shit, my eyes fall from my head
This buzzing shocks my mind
The sound propels me from my bed

Clean people, clean people
All this dirt I've got
Green paper problems 
Fill my ears with others' words and thoughts

Slept through all my compulsions
Heartless is the starting gun
Bogged down by rhyme and reason
Kill the pain, it never does

Well-versed in obession
No time to let things slide
Reroute the connection
Ward off the rising tide

I don't need nothing from you
I guess there's nothing to say
These thoughts won't stop coming through
I guess they've come here to stay

And I want my sight
Dark eyes, so tired
Need to feel alright

Blue Morning

Atomic Walrus is a Los Angeles-bred band best known for their high-energy live shows featuring a unique blend of rock, hip-hop, and funk. Formed after the band's guitarist and drummer met in the backyard of a UCLA co-op, Atomic Walrus cut their teeth playing college house parties before expanding to venues all over LA, from the South Bay to Silverlake. Since then, the band has self-produced and released music, toured CA, and performed for 10,000 people at the Hermosa Beach Summer Concert Series.
