[Verse 1]
Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
Go back rocket man into the sky you�ll see
Hear it all the time, come back rewind
Aliens are waiting up in the sky
Sound boy proceed to blast into the galaxy
Sound boy when you come round
Sound boy won�t you stay
No one gonna harm you
They all want you to play

[Verse 2]
I watch the birds of prey that
Hunt the canyon below my house
They're looking for a meal like a lizard or a mouse
I wonder if they appreciate the setting like me
To control your own direction choose to be free
And I reserve the right to be as trite as I want
And you can lick but don�t bite I toss you here to Vermont
I kick it lickity split and hand it to the man in the tan van
And as for you and your crew I don�t hate you
Peace is my priority �cause marley said for sure-ity
Just what do you think I'm doin�? I�m not just here for screwin�
Yo and if it�s sore take care of it Perhaps from too much sucking
But anytime your aware of it then keep on loving
See 311 Live
Get tickets as low as $43

[Chorus]
You know we cool
(Isn't that random?)
When we come bout people so clear no fear
We're in your ear
You know we will
So get ready
For comes
Picked up so what
(Hey, isn't that random?)
You know
Sound boy
It's gonna rock you
(Hey, isn't that random?)
Oh picked clear
So clear
We're in your ear
You know
People rock steady hey
(Isn't that random?)

[Verse 3]
To be the one who has it all is not that hard
And I�ll be that type of dude in a funky car
I dream of a suit that will fit my rhyme
When I recognize my girl from a former life
I love it when the only sound that I hear is your infectious laughter
I will hear you again in 800 years if I�m still lucky
Go north on outpost then take a left on mullholland
To me that�s where I like it and macapa drive is callin�
I get up to the sun and then I stretch out
It's beginning to look like summer
And I�m down with no doubt (swing)
[Chorus]
You know we cool
(Isn't that random?)
When we come bout make it clear no fear
So dear and we're in your ear
You know people rocksteady
For comes
I Picked up so what
(Hey, isn't that random?)
You know
Sound boy
It's gonna rock you
(Hey, isn't that random?)
Oh picked clear
So clear
We're in your ear
You know
People rock steady hey
(Isn't that random?)

[Outro]
I break a silly peace for offering
Rap weasel then I�m boffering
I�d give you an exclusive on my playlist
The thought and styles I kick are from a random hat pick
That�s why most radio will never play this tell �em again
Me a rude boy from Omaha, Nebraska
Sick as a porno flick yet gold as precious laughter
Many don�t agree but we can�t care about that
�Cause we�re never gonna wear the old hat, spoken

"Hey, what's the 311 cruise like," I asked once.

"Oh so it's a cruise and it's okay but the best part is doing your entire year's worth of drugs in a few days and not remembering how much sex you had."

Holy gently caress, their stock just went WAY up in my book:

Rolling Stone posted:

At Baltimore’s Harbor Court Hotel on Thanksgiving
night, members of Los Angeles rockers 311, on a day off from their national tour, got into a fist fight with former Creed frontman Scott Stapp, in town to promote his solo debut, The Great Divide. 311 singer S.A. Martinez
suffered a fractured knuckle as a result of the brawl, which the band says Stapp started.

“We had just finished dinner and were at the hotel bar to
watch the Lakers game when Scott Stapp walked in being very loud and obnoxious,” Martinez tells Rolling Stone. “In fact, one of the first things he said was that he loved to fight. So he started doing shots and breaking the glass on the bar, almost hitting one of our crew guys. My wife and I moved to a table and eventually Scott made his way over and sat down. He was looking for attention. Even before that, he had wadded up a napkin that he lobbed in our direction. It was pathetic, and we tried to ignore him, but it was impossible. Then he made a pretty disrespectful comment to
my wife, which I’d rather not repeat, but in no uncertain terms, the word ‘gently caress’ was used. That’s when [drummer] Chad [Sexton] walked over.”

“I had run into Scott that day,” says Sexton. “We have some things in common, like the same producer, and we chatted for a few minutes. So knowing we got along earlier, I kindly asked him not to disrespect anybody and reminded him that we’re all friends. That’s when he sucker-punched me — hit me right in the face.”

“When Scott punched Chad,” adds Martinez, “in the
follow-through, he hit my wife so then I threw my punch. I think the last time I got into a fight was in the third grade, but it was an instant reaction on my part. [311 bassist] P-Nut also came over and he got sucked into it, opening up a scar on his right arm from a recent surgery. Scott went down, and his girl came over and sat on him to get him to stop, but he
got up, enraged, still wanting to fight. After about five minutes, hotel security finally broke it up and kicked him out. Honestly, the hotel was really at fault for not kicking him out when he threw the first shot glass.”

Later that night, Martinez went to a local hospital to treat
what’s called a “boxer’s fracture.” His right hand is now in a cast, but he was able to perform the following day in Baltimore. “It was different, because I’m used to holding the mike in that hand,” he says. “Thankfully, I
can still bust a move.”

Ironically, before the situation escalated, Stapp had told the members of 311 that he was a fan, according to Martinez.
“He was telling us how he’d been to a show of ours in Florida, where he got up on stage, and that he was so thankful that we didn’t kick him off,” says the singer. “He was saying, ‘You had no idea that you guys being so cool to
me would inspire me to start a band, and for me to sell 30 million records, win a Grammy, VMAs, Billboard Awards . . .’ He just went on and on, like some drunk guy who wouldn’t shut the gently caress up, while we just wanted to watch
the game.”

In the end, 311 insist they were acting in self-defense and, according to Sexton, have gone public as a response to rumors to “tell what really happened that so there’s no misinformation out there . . . We’re very positive people. We’ve preached positivity on every record we’ve made. We
don’t have altercations like this ever. And we even wish Scott
well.”
