Robot Attack 02:16
Well the robots keep marching on They shot a missile into the sun So it looks like we’ll be living underground Our fossil fuels have all been spent Now they’ve killed the president I guess the dawning of the robot age has come ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’ll never get out alive Robot Attack and they’re coming for you ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’re never ever gonna survive It’s an epic battle of metal vs man and the human race is through So the robots have had their way Their dawn has turned into their day And their programming has bypassed all three laws They wanna kill all human beings So we built a time machine But it only goes back to the day we turned it on ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’ll never get out alive Robot Attack and they’re coming for you ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’re never ever gonna survive It’s an epic battle of metal vs man and the human race is through ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’ll never get out alive Robot Attack and they’re coming for you ‘Cause it’s a Robot Attack You’re never ever gonna survive It’s an epic battle of metal vs man and the human race is through

Buddy Lembeck kicked my ass. He punched me in the face. He said I played with Barbie Dolls. I said ,“Take it back”. He never did. Buddy Lembeck through my life into a world. I’ll never know true happiness and all my days are clouds and rain. I’m never going back there again. They take more than I can give. I’m never going back there again, fo’ sho’, to that house where the Powells live. Sarah and Jamie made fun of me. I had spitballs in my hair. I ran and hid in Charles’ room. He said he don’t care ‘cause I’m so square. Buddy never let me in on a single of his schemes. I’ve never dated a stewardess or fell in love and it seems I’m never going back there again. They take more than I can give. I’m never going back there again, fo’ sho’, to that house where the Powells live. I’m never going back there again. They take more than I can give. I’m never going back there again, fo’ sho’, to that house where the Powells live.

I wanna be less of a creep so that I could be with you. Just to be the kind of guy that always make ya blue. Like some fuckin’ trophy I’d put you up on a shelf. I know that you’re the kinda girl who’d love me more than herself. And I know that you’d love me if I wasn’t so ugly Maybe if I was somebody famous, you’d give me half a, you’d give me half a, you’d give me half a chance You’re a very pretty girl, so fuckin’ pretty that it hurts. I’ll tell you right now angel that I wanna be the first The first to make you laugh, the first to make you cry, The first to make you hurt so bad you fuckin’ wish that you would die And I know that you’d love me if I wasn’t so ugly Maybe if I was somebody famous, you’d give me half a, you’d give me half a, you’d give me half a chance

03:00 02:03
Driving down the road at 3:00 AM. Nothing’s going right. You’ve gotta get out of this place if only for the night. Street lights ahead made the road a landing strip. You think your car has wings. You know you’re starting to slip. Forget everything you’ve heard. Forget every single word. (Starting to slip) Forget everything you’ve seen. Forget everything. Forget everyone you’ve known. Forget all that you’ve been shown. (I never wanted to remember only want) Try your best to forget me. Forget everything. Runnin’ round this town your whole life, going nowhere fast. Spending all your time making friends that are never gonna last. Take a look around and realize you’re on the path Everyone you hates been down. You know you’re never going back. Forget everything you’ve heard. Forget every single word. (Never going back) Forget everything you’ve seen. Forget everything. Forget everyone you’ve known. Forget all that you’ve been shown. (I never wanted to remember only want) Try your best to forget me. Forget everything.

I'm Next 01:47
I came here once on holiday then decided I should stay. I’ll help these people farm their land and be a good American. I helped the village build a wall. I slept so good that night. And while I dreamt of sugar plums, they went back and built it right. I’m next. I’m next. I’m ready to go. I’m Next. Send me off to the volcano. The people here don’t understand. They don’t trust my lack of tan. They don’t know the words I say or how this looks on my resume. I’ve accepted my vapidity. I have nothing to give. I’m climbing up the volcamo. I know that I can’t live. (My sandals!) I’m next. I’m next. I’m ready to go. I’m next. Throw me into the volcano. Throw me into the volcano. Throw me into the volcano. Throw me into the volcano. Throw me into the volcano. Throw me into the volcano...

I like the way sparkling earrings lay against your skin so brown. I wanna fuck you in the desert tonight with a million stars all around. I got a peaceful easy feelin'. I know you won't let me down. 'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground I found out a long time ago what a woman can do to your soul. But she won't take you anywhere that you wouldn’t already go. I got a peaceful easy feelin'. I know you won't let me down. 'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground Peaceful easy feelin'. (Fuck you) I know you won't let me down. 'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground I got this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend. But there’s this voice in my other ear says I might not see you again. I got a peaceful easy feelin'. (Fuck you) I know you won't let me down. 'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground (Already standing on the ground) I'm already standing on the ground (Already standing on the ground) Stand, stand, standing on the ground (Already standing on the ground) Stand, stand, standing on the ground (Already standing on the ground) Stand. stand, standing on the Stand. stand, standing on the Stand. stand, standing on the Stand. stand, standing on the Ground!

Charlotte 04:13
Charlotte, please don’t cry ‘cause sometimes things they just work out. And Charlotte, even if they don’t, well who cares ‘cause its only life. Tell me what you need to hear. I’ll say it back to you. Tell me what you dream about at night. I’ll make it all come true. Tell me why you’re running away from yourself. There’s the slightest chance that I could help. Charlotte, please make a choice. The time has come to, to live your life. And Charlotte, if you choose poorly, well who cares ‘cause its only life. Tell me what you need to hear. I’ll say it back to you. Tell me what you dream about at night. I’ll make it all come true. Tell me why you’re running away from yourself. There’s the slightest chance that I could help. Another helicopter ride into Alaska won’t make all your thoughts go away He’s a jerk. You know you are heading for disaster I know you’re smart but you’ll fall apart if you don’t get out of that place. Get out of that place. Get out of that place. Charlotte, where are you now? It’s been so long since we last talked. And Charlotte, I hope you’re happy with where you are. I remember you I remember you (remember you). I remember you (remember you). I remember you (remember you). I remember you (remember). I remember you (remember you). I remember you (remember you). I remember you (remember you). I remember you.

Sunny D 04:14
Staring out the window. Play some more Nintendo. It seems the rain is setting in. Days spent in the backyard. Life didn’t seem so fucking hard. I wonder where those days have been. Look back on what we have lost. My fingers ache from staying crossed. There’s no way say I care. You know I’d love to see you if we could see thing though. You know I’d love to meet you there. I’ve been feeling fine so don’t waste my time. I’m okay on my own, my friend. But those sunny days, were they just a craze when we can’t go home again? I try to keep my head straight. I try to let go of hate And avoid living in the past. I can see you in my mind now back when the sun was shining down. We thought those days would always last. Outside the sun is shining. Shut up and stop your whining. Get your ass off the telephone. Don’t tear at your sutures. Look forward to the future. Hearts like ours can find a new home. I’ve been feeling fine so don’t waste my time. I’m okay on my own again. And those sunny days are never just a craze. We’ll find new homes, my friend.

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain and let me be alone again. The only girl I've ever loved has gone away looking for a brand new start. But little does she know that when she left that day along with her she took my heart. Rain, please tell me now does that seem fair? For her to steal my heart away when she don't care? I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away. The only girl I've ever loved has gone away looking for a brand new start. But little does she know that when she left that day along with her she took my heart. Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so? Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow. Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow. Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain telling me just what a fool I've been. I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain and let me be alone again. Listen to the falling rain. Pitter, patter. Pitter, patter. Listen to the fucking rain. Pitter, patter. Pitter, patter.

Julie 04:46
Julie used to be a man. Now she’s taking all her vitamins And supplements to increase her mood, soften her looks, and pick up a dude. Julie’s looking pretty good and I think it’s understood. She don’t need your shit today. So if you’re not with her, just walk away. Julie fell in love at twelve but she didn’t understand herself Or why she felt the way she did about the boy next store. She was just a kid. Her parents told her no, no, no. That she should play with G.I.Joe. Put your sister’s dress away. Boys can’t wear pink. You’re not okay. Will she ever get away from sleeping on the couch all day? Is she only wasting time? Julie, do you wanna change it? Are you happy with the way things are? Julie’s taking klonopin so Julie don’t freak out again, Get locked up and have no fun, cry all night and forget the sun. Julie tries to play it cool. You don’t have to memorize every rule. She won’t freak out if you call her James, but she’ll remind you that it’s not her name. Julie used to be a man. Now she’s taking all her vitamins And supplements to increase her mood, soften her looks, and pick up a dude. Her future’s looking pretty bright now that she can sleep at night. She put the razors back up on the shelf and she learned to understand herself. Julie finally got away from sleeping on the couch all day. She was never wasting time. Julie went through many changes. She was perfect every single way.

I was eating turkey and mashed potatoes to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus When my world came crashing down on my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, terrible news on the TV screen. A man I loved like family was dead. Now there's never gonna be another “Hey Ho Let's Go” And we’re never gonna hear another “Gabba, Gabba, Hey! Gabba Gabba, Hey!” “Oh, Oh, Oh. We’ve got nowhere to go. It may sound funny, but it's true.” Joey, your songs will always guide me and your words will always hide me In all the times I feel I don't fit in. I have no way to ever thank you for all the times for music came through When it feels like no one cares just where I've been. Now there's never gonna be another “Sha La La La La” And we’re never gonna hear another “Beat on the brat with a baseball bat! oh yeah!” “Oh, Oh, Oh. We got nowhere to go. It may sound funny, but it's true.” Now there's never gonna be another “Hey Ho Let's Go” And we’re never gonna hear another “Gabba, Gabba, Hey! Gabba Gabba, Hey!” “Oh, Oh, Oh. We’ve got nowhere to go. It may sound funny, but it's true.”

I don't know why you can't talk to me. You push me away and then you say I'm never there for you. The world could crash around my head and I'd stay right by your side for a thousand nights just to prove I was right there Waiting for you, waiting for me to get my head out of my ass, to get my shit together, to be someone I'm never going to be. I'll smash my head into this wall again. I'm doing this for you. I don't regret it.

Mars or Bust 03:47
I need to evolve my monkey brain And move beyond everything. Your sad world holds nothing for me. Pass through weird dimensions, set me free. Your mouth is open. I can't hear. Your human heart is clogged with fear. I’ll move to another place and time. Step upon the platform. Take my mind. I can't take anymore guitar amps or skateboards. A century from now it's all just dust. I'll blast off this planet because I can't stand it. Say goodbye, Earth. Its Mars or bust. Yeah, say goodbye, Earth. Its Mars or bust! I need to leave the human race. Out amongst the stars I'll take my place. On that angry red planet time will pass. You creatures back on earth can kiss my ass. In the dark of space I can see Your morality was never meant to be. That is not dead which can eternal lie With strange aeons even death may die. I can't take anymore guitar amps or skateboards. A century from now it's all just dust. I'll blast off this planet because I can't stand it. Say goodbye, Earth. Its Mars or bust. Yeah, say goodbye, Earth. Its Mars or bust!

about

Grimetime Ukiah, California

Grimetime is a band of guys singing songs about robots, romance, and rough nights. Taking a page from The Ramones songbook, the musical output is pretty simple, aside from the harmonized guitars. While their lyrical content occasionally veers off into the political realm, they usually just wanna catch their crushes eye, drink a beer, and bop the night away. ... more
