Shenanigans
S. O.d. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just another Saturday Hanging out at DBA
All I came for was whiskey and a bunch of pints
I have a drink or two or three And I feel like I'm on TV
'Cause some girl across the bar is giving me the evil eye
I make a move to see what's up and bump right into some dump jock
The guy gets pissed and he throws his drink right in my face
Well now he started, but I'll finish
But first I'll have another Guinness
Fighting's such a boring thing I gave it up, I always win

Ask me how I sleep at night This is how I live my life
Drinking, smoking, screwing, right!
Don't tell me how to live my life!

Another guy, another day. Why won't this guy just go away
Talk my ear off and I don't want to smell your breath
You like my band, I understand When you say, "I love you man"
Can't I have just a minute to go take a piss?
The he asks me if I'm saved And do I walk with God each day
No way man, I have always been down with sin
He tells me God loves all of us as I get back on the bus
'Cause God just told me I was gonna get my dick sucked!
Good for you, you're born again Yuppie Young Republican

Ask me how I sleep at night This is how I live my life
Drinking, smoking, screwing, right!
Don't tell me how to live my life!

Being straight makes you happy Stay the fuck away from me
So you're gay, oh happy day And you don't smoke, that's just great
And eating meat, oh God forbid
You'll be more fun when you're dead

Another time, far away, I'm in Tampa, FLA
I saw my friends and we went out and got really drunk
Got in the car and drove around
and passed the Yankees training ground
We drove up close and then I went and hopped the fence
I ran around the bases twice and thought the on-deck mat was nice
I put it back though and ran back out to meet my friends
The cops were there, they saw the tape
Straight to jail at any rate
Three month later Howard Stern got George to drop the case!

Ask me how I sleep at night This is how I live my life




Drinking, smoking, screwing, right!
Don't tell me how to live my life!

Overall Meaning

The song "Shenanigans" by S.O.D. is an ode to living life on one's own terms, free from the judgment and expectations of others. The lyrics describe various scenarios where the singer encounters people who try to impose their beliefs and values on him, whether it's a jock looking for a fight, a religious fanatic preaching salvation, or a health freak promoting a vegetarian lifestyle. However, the singer doesn't let these pressures get to him and instead embraces a hedonistic lifestyle of drinking, smoking, and casual sex. He even recounts a story of breaking into the Yankees training ground, running around the bases, and getting arrested, but he's unapologetic about it, suggesting that authority and rules should be ignored if they interfere with one's enjoyment of life.


Overall, the song celebrates rebellion and nonconformity, urging listeners to live life on their own terms and not to let others dictate how they should act or think. The chorus "Ask me how I sleep at night, This is how I live my life, Drinking, smoking, screwing, right! Don't tell me how to live my life!" encapsulates this sentiment and serves as a rallying cry for those who want to break free from societal norms.
