lyrics

Kevin says he's done
Taking crap from anyone
He's just tryin to have some fun
Playing Rock and Roll
But when he sings his song
There's notes in there that don't belong
Even so it's pretty strong
'Cause he sings with soul
It may not go like it should
But it's still pretty good

We're playing music that nobody knows
Songs about dinosaurs, songs about UFOs
Playing songs that no-one's ever heard
Kevin says it's cool
If you make up your own words

When his mom comes round
She screams "turn that racket down!"
Kevin says it proves our sound
Is getting pretty close
Up and down the block
Neighbors they can't help but talk
And anyone who wants to rock
Will get their daily dose
Rehearsal never stops
Till someone calls the cops

Playing music that nobody knows
Songs about dinosaurs, songs about UFOs
Playing songs that no-one's ever heard
Kevin says it's cool
If you make up your own words

Playing music that nobody knows
Songs about manticores, songs about TV Shows
Playing songs that no-one's ever heard
Kevin says it's cool
If you make up your own words

Songs about dinosaurs, songs about UFOs
Songs about superstrings, songs about portmanteaus
Songs about baby corn, songs about potatoes
Kevin says it's cool if you make up your own words
