Bounced Out Again

[Final Master]

[Intro – Spoken, over ska guitar upstrokes]
Yeah, I showed up late with a busted grin…
Guess who got bounced out again?

[Verse 1]
PBR warm and my shirt's half clean,
Got kicked from the club at 10:15.
Told the bouncer, “Bro, I’m practically fam!”
He said, “That’s cute—now scram.”
Ex called twice, but I ain’t call back,
She’s probably with dude number five or six-pack.
My band’s broke, rent’s due, dog’s got fleas,
But at least I ain’t beggin’ on my knees.

[Chorus – Gang vocals]
Bounced out again, can’t catch a break,
Life’s a punchline and I’m the mistake.
Skankin’ through hell with a plastic grin—
Guess who got bounced out again?!

[Verse 2]
Couch-surf king of the westside scene,
Still wearin’ that tee from ‘97’s zine.
She said, “Grow up,” I said, “Nah, I’ll pass,”
Then tripped on my board and fell on my ass.
Tattoo says “freedom,” rent says “nope,”
Livin’ on ramen and last-ditch hope.
But the beat still hits and the horn still plays—
I’m a loser, baby, but I skank all day!

[Chorus – With horns & chaos]
Bounced out again, can’t catch a break,
Life’s a piñata, and I’m the stake.
Shoutin’ at the sky, finger in the open
Guess who got bounced out again?

[Bridge – Half-rapped, ska breakdown]
It’s a messed-up mess but I still survive,
On cheap thrills, bad pills, and that two-tone jive.
If the cops come knockin’, tell ‘em I ain’t home—
I’m out dancin’ with my unpaid phone.

[Final Chorus – Shouted, unhinged energy]
Bounced out again, but I’m still loud,
Still punk rock in this sellout crowd!
Laughin’ like a man who just can’t win—
Guess who got bounced out again?!
