Hey man, I saw you standing there

You were bobbing your head to the beat as your fists start to clinch

Oh so tight

"No fear" in your eyes, and also on your shirt (and hat and pants)

It's your turn to show tonight, do your best to start a fight

Show us all that you can dance with your elbows and your hands

(Dancing with friends, keeping the peace, if you didn't know I'm being sarcastic)

When you feel the crowd start to move

Please try to resist the urge that you get

Try not to get upset and sock your neighbor right in the face

I know that coach meant well

But what's a dance to you is a fight to someone else

Keep your anger aside, kick back, enjoy the ride

And think how it could be if you showed some courtesy

Your hostility, it grows so easily

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw

Please don't get near

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw

Have some more beer, "no fear gear" is what you wear

Just because the music begins

Does not always mean a wrestling scene from wwf

Breaks out right to my left

And I got a ringside ticket

I'll challenge you or anyone anywhere

Sometimes I just want the football thrown in

Let the football game begin

And then say to myself as I think of someone else

That's not what we came here for, we'll take no more

What's going through your head?

To the point that someone is dead

Keep it up and you're out of here, you're out of here

And when you're outside by yourself and sitting all alone

Keep your head down

Cause we're the ones that warned you

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw

Please don't get near

You're the next victim of the dance that broke my jaw

Can't we just be friends in here?

Go drink some more beer

Kick your neighbor's rear

Elbow to my ear

Can't we just be friends in here?

I was dancing by myself, and bothering no one else

When suddenly I was encountered by the beast

I ask so politely, "please just let me be"

But the next thing I remember, I'm staring at the ceiling

Someone please, help me call security

Was on my feet, but now I'm on the floor

That shithead doesn't show respect to me or to you

So now he's out the door

Not gonna hurt us anymore

That dance floor is free of hostility

And I'm so glad he's gone

It's our turn to have fun

My message was clear, "we're all friends in here"

But we're not allowed to do the dance that broke my jaw
