176 BPM fast, raucous pop-punk with skate-punk bite, bright G major key. Core instrumentation: scratchy distorted electric guitar power chord riffs with pick scrapes, bouncy thrashed bass, pummeling double-kick drum fills with chaotic crash hits, short trombone stabs for playful flair, and a half-time ukulele-driven breakdown before the final explosive chorus. Snotty, sneering male lead vocals paired with rowdy call-and-response gang vocals, energy equal parts chaotic and giddily snarky, carrying warm, self-deprecating nostalgia. Lyrics follow the narrative of ditching a dead-end retail shift last minute to drive 3 hours to a friend’s backyard pizza show, roasting your own terrible parallel parking, the stale gas station energy drinks, and the quiet scared thrill of realizing you don’t want to be the responsible grownup everyone keeps telling you to be, landing dumb gags about getting a parking ticket right before you leave, with zero sappy overtones, just loud, cathartic youthful messiness in the vein of early New Found Glory, Sum 41.

[Intro] [Verse] Management is breathing down my neck I’m a total wreck Clocked out at noon and I didn't check The schedule or the paycheck Grabbed my keys and I hit the door I can't take this retail floor no more My apron’s in the trash behind the store I’m looking for something worth fighting for [Pre-Chorus] Stale energy drinks in the cup holder Feeling young but looking older Three hours of highway lines Ignoring all the warning signs My engine's making a clicking sound But I’m finally leaving this town [Chorus] Backyard pizza and a punk rock show Nowhere else I’d rather go I’m a mess and I know it’s true Better than being stuck with you Yeah, we’re loud and we’re dumb Waiting for the beat to come (Gang Vocals: GO! GO! GO!) [Verse] Parallel parking is a goddamn joke Hit the curb and the mirror broke Seven tries and I’m still not in The neighbors think it’s a mortal sin I’m crooked as a question mark Trying to find a place to park in the dark I’ll just leave it on the lawn I’ll be gone before the dawn [Pre-Chorus] Warm gas station pizza on the seat Blistering in the summer heat Three hours of highway lines Ignoring all the warning signs My engine's making a clicking sound But I’m finally leaving this town [Chorus] Backyard pizza and a punk rock show Nowhere else I’d rather go I’m a mess and I know it’s true Better than being stuck with you Yeah, we’re loud and we’re dumb Waiting for the beat to come [Breakdown] (Half-time tempo with ukulele) They say I gotta grow up fast Make the 401k last But I’m eating crust on a dirty floor And I’m always asking for more Is this what a career looks like? I'd rather be on a stolen bike [Solo] (Fast punk riffs with trombone stabs) [Build-up] (Gang Vocals) PICK IT UP! PICK IT UP! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! WE AIN'T LEAVING! WE AIN'T LEAVING! [Chorus] Backyard pizza and a punk rock show Nowhere else I’d rather go I’m a mess and I know it’s true Better than being stuck with you Yeah, we’re loud and we’re dumb Waiting for the beat to come [Post-Chorus] Found a yellow slip on the glass The city can kiss my ass Forty bucks for a Friday night Everything is gonna be alright Yeah, everything is alright! I’m a disaster and I’m doing fine! [Outro]
