  • [liner note:]
    it's a typical cloudy day in canton, ohio, and the relient k boys are trying to score something to do.
    matt t. gives dave's cell a phone call.

    [*cell phone ring*]
    what's up dude?
    i'm getting kind of bored
    let's get some food
    and then hit movies 4
    what's going on?
    what's up with all our friends?
    let's start a rumor
    just to find out where it ends

    cause a small town is like a small stage
    for teenagers and their drama
    instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
    like 90210 without the beverly hills

    well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
    that we never settle down (never settle down)
    well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
    that we get out of this town (get out of this town)
    cause if we leave then we just might be okay

    hoopes i did it again
    i messed everything up, and i think i hurt my friends
    hoopes i did it again
    relationships that work are things that i can't comprehend

    ohio has the flavor of a water chestnut
    it's not too crazy and it's not the best but
    we're not setting forest fires just out of boredom
    i'd rather see a movie if in fact i can afford one

    cause a small town is like a small stage
    for teenagers and their drama
    instead of playing shows, we'll be showing plays
    like 90210 without the beverly hills

    well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
    that we never settle down (never settle down)
    well, don't you think (don't you think), don't you think it's high time
    that we get out of this town (get out of this town)

    cause if we leave then we just might make a difference
    and if we leave then we just might be okay
    and i don't think it would hurt to get away

    hoopes i did it again
    i messed everything up, and i think i hurt my friends
    hoopes i did it again
    relationships that work are things that i can't comprehend

    dan bakitus said i'm shallow
    he said i've got no integrity
    but, i don't know dan bakitus
    and dan bakitus, he don't know me

    cause we always say in canton
    you can't enjoy (canton joy) yourself
    well, there's truth to that
    but may i add
    it's not half bad
    and never less than that

    cause we always say in canton
    you can't enjoy (canton joy) yourself
    well, there's truth to that
    but may i add
    it's not half bad
    and never less than that Writer/s: MATTHEW THIESSEN
