This song was written, performed, and recorded entirely by Joey in 2015 before he had a full lineup for The Shop Rockets. No bass on this track, the drums are programmed, and it was played on a cheap-o First Act Guitar. Unfortunately, a hard drive crash resulted in the loss of all 2015 demo files, and this track was never finished. It's all we've got for now. Full band version should be on the debut album.

***LYRICS***
(VERSE 1) 
Gaseous diffusion 
we're all safe that's an illusion 
won't stand for intrusion 
they've got guards with guns and they're not fucking around 

Endless field of uranium barrels 
Putting all of us in peril 
highly doubt the water is sterile 
Any minute now we're gonna have a meltdown 

(CHORUS) 
Atomic (x3) 
Atomic Parade 

(VERSE 2) 
I've been feeling just a little nauseous 
we all live in toxic boxes 
and I don't wanna be a 
teenage mutant uncoordinated human 

(CHORUS) 

(BRIDGE) 
River's polluted 
rad levels growing 
fallout is imminent 
our neighbors are glowing 

We're losing our hair we're losing our minds 
We should have known better we ran out of time 

(CHORUS)

***LYRICS***
Blast us up all systems go
lock in all ignition codes
we got places we need to go
where we're going we don't need roads

somewhere past the Ape Man Nebula
stasis pods fell into a hell of a
funk and now we're waking up
half way there and now we're stuck

in the middle of the universe(x4)
I wanna go home

left alone my crew all died
i'm the only on alive
cabin fever's creepin in
so afraid this is the end

Middle of the Universe [DEMO]

***LYRICS***
(VERSE 1) 
I know I said I love you and at one time that was true 
but it has come to my attention that you haven't got a clue 
and I don't think that I can take it anymore 
you never stop complainin' and it kinda hurts my brain and 
every minute of the day actin' totally insane 
come to think of it you're rotten to the core 

(CHORUS) 
I don't wanna go (x3) 
out with you anymore 

(VERSE 2) 
Where's the girl I fell for cause you're certainly not her 
I'm not sure how this occured, but I sure do wish you were 
the old you cause this new one is the worst 
you're manipulating games are something that I can't forgive 
won't be sharing my last name with you cause I don't wanna live 
happily ever after in reverse 

(CHORUS) 

(BRIDGE) 
I think that I'd be better on my own 
than to put up with this urgent need to 
constantly berate me on the phone 

(VERSE 3) 
I know I said I love you and at one time that was true 
but it has come to my attention that you haven't got a clue 
and I don't think that I can date you anymore 
you never stop complainin' and it kinda hurts my brain and 
every second of the day friggin driving me insane 
when I fell for you I fell through a trap door 

(CHORUS)

It's Not Me, It's You [DEMO]

***LYRICS***
(VERSE 1) 
The business man he's got a plan 
gonna save the company some headaches 
gonna cook the books and save the crooks 
from their multi million dollar mistakes 
he's got a suit and tie and a fancy ride 
to get from meeting to meeting 
rainy or sunny yeah time is money 
and it seems like his is always fleeting 

(CHORUS) 
21st century business man (x4) 

(VERSE 2) 
The business man does what he can 
and he does it without hesitation 
won't bat an eye to cheat and lie 
cause he's got stock in the corporation 
it may be a lousy one percent 
but he's hoping he can climb the ladder 
until he does he'll raise no fuss 
helping fat cats get fatter 

(CHORUS) 

(BRIDGE) 
Tax evasion, off shore bank accounts 
in the Caymans, nobody can find out 
if they do I'm telling you we're screwed 

(CHORUS)

21st Century Business Man [DEMO]

This song was written, performed, and recorded entirely by Joey for his cousin David on his birthday (10-14-2016). Drums are programmed. It's mixed a little heavy on the low end, but it serves it's purpose as a working demo.

***LYRICS***
(VERSE 1)
You'll see him at the shows 
Supporting all the bands 
If your music doesn't suck 
Then he's your biggest fan 
He never buys into trends 
Or the latest fad 
His name is david 
And its safe to say he's rad 

(CHORUS)
David's Rad 
Hes rad 

(VERSE 2)
He totally devotedly 
Will sport your bands shirt 
He almost kicks so much ass 
It makes your ass hurt 
if you ever see him walk right 
Up and shake his hand 
Cause I can guarantee you 
That this man is the man

(CHORUS)

David's Rad [DEMO]
