The Bouncing Souls
The Bouncing Souls are a punk band, formed in 1987. They are originally from New Brunswick, New Jersey. By the time they were recognized by the national punk scene, they had reignited a "pogo" element to New Jersey punk rock by playing fast light-hearted songs, a model followed by various other local bands (e.g. Blanks 77 and the Bristles). In the early stages of their career, they played a hybrid of punk, funk, metal, and just about anything else they felt like including. Read Full BioThe Bouncing Souls are a punk band, formed in 1987. They are originally from New Brunswick, New Jersey. By the time they were recognized by the national punk scene, they had reignited a "pogo" element to New Jersey punk rock by playing fast light-hearted songs, a model followed by various other local bands (e.g. Blanks 77 and the Bristles). In the early stages of their career, they played a hybrid of punk, funk, metal, and just about anything else they felt like including. They were known for their energetic live shows, albeit with an amateurish element on their recordings at that stage. Soon, they had whittled it down to their own brand of punk, and become one of the most popular bands in the punk scene.
They made a name for themselves by consistently touring over the United States. Rather than signing with a known label, they initially decided to found their own, Chunksaah Records (named after their long-time friend Timmy Chunks), but are now releasing their albums on Epitaph Records.
The Bouncing Souls are one of the best selling and longest lived of the punk bands from New Jersey, following the legacy of previously successful punk bands Adrenalin OD and the Misfits.

The Bouncing Souls Lyrics
I've met some people along the way
Some of them split some of them stay
Some of them walk, some walk on by
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn
Some of them shine, some of them burn
Some of them rise, some of them fall
For good or bad I've known them all
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh
We are the true believers
Well you can fight or you can run
Hide under a rock till the war is won
Play it safe and don't make a sound
But not us we won't back down
True believers all the way
You and I
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
We are the true believers
Trus We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhh
We are the true believers
True believers

I've met some people along the way
Some of them split some of them stay
Some of them walk some walk on by
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn
Some of them shine some of them burn
Some of them rise some of them fall
For good or bad I've known them all
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away we are the true believers
Well you can fight or you can run
Under a rock till the war is won
Play it safe and don't make a sound
But not us we won't back down true believers all the way

Not that anyone looking this song up doesn't already know the lyrics anyway, but here ya go
I've met some people along the way
Some of them split, some of them stay
Some of them walk, some walk on by
Got a few friends I'll love 'til I die
From all these people I've tried to learn
Some of them shine, some of them burn
Some of them rise, some of them fall
But good or bad, I've known them all
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers
Well, you can fight or you can run
Hide under a rock 'til the war is won
Play it safe and don't make a sound
But not us, we won't back down
True believers all the way
You and I
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers
We live our life in our own way
Never really listened to what they say
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers

The kind of faith that doesn't fade away we are the true believers
Well you can fight or you can run
Under a rock till the war is won
Play it safe and don't make a sound
But not us we won't back down true believers all the way

I saw these guys in Norwich , 2006. At the end of the gig , the drummer threw his sticks into the crowd. One hit me in the left eye . Hurt like fuck. Still got the stick , still love the band.
