Lyrics
Loosen up, man, there's a party going on right here and you don't even see it
Loosen up, man, there's a party going on right here and you don't even feel it
You're in a meat market and you haven't even noticed yet
You wanna make the ladies swoon so you peruse the room for someone that you haven't met
Then you say, "Dammit, no, I can't do it,
It's the people, the place and the attitude"
Then this girl walks by with her can of High Life
And you don't wanna look rude
Why don't you have yourself a beer?
You don't look comfortable in here
You're in a meat market and you haven't made your big move yet
All the girls with their pink tanktops and their white flip flops, they don't know what they're gonna get
Then you say, "Fuck it, no, I can't do it,
No, I'm not their type of frat guy dude"
Then this girl walks by, her shirt says "AFI"
And you don't wanna look rude
That girl, she's looking right at you
This moment's long past overdue
That girl, she's looking right at you
This moment's long past overdue
Why don't you have yourself a beer
The fight of liquid vs. fear
