But while Sprung Monkey made their name in surf, skate, and snowboard flicks, they earned their reputation on the road. Tours with Blink 182 and the Offspring and slots on the Van's Warped Tour and ESPN's X-Games introduced loads of fans to this kick-ass So Cal band, and 6 Australian tours (so far) made them a worldwide phenomenon (or Angus Young's love children, at least).
Which brings us to the reason we're here: "Get A Taste". Sprung Monkey's newest CD combines the raw energy of "Swirl" and "Mr. Funny Face" with the experience and inspiration of a band that's been through it all. With previous discs selling in the hundreds of thousands, Sprung Monkey takes things to the next level--"Get a Taste" has more hooks than a meat locker and more attitude than Johnny Knoxville's jock strap.
Sprung Monkey 2002, but reformed in 2005.

Sprung Monkey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bullshit always rolling off the tongue
One too many drunk conversations
Another poor pathetic fuckin' drunk
Now sympathy I won't cry in your beer
Said kill yourself is the only words I hear
I hear
Lost my kids fucked my life
Oh I don't give a shit let me make that clear
Shut up shut up
I listened to your words
Shut up shut up
Can't stand to hear you say
Shut up shut up
Just one too many problems
Shut up shut up
And get out of my fuckin' way boy
Now everybody loves to speak their mind
And everybody loves to tell me what's
On mine on mine
You don't do this you don't do that
He said this she said that
I don't give a shit don't waste my time
Shut up shut up
I listened to your words
Shut up shut up
Can't stand to hear you say
Shut up shut up
Just one too many problems
Shut up shut up
And get out of my fuckin' way boy
People always slippin' always trippin'
People talkin' crazy all the time
I wonder how it is they always find me
Seems like there's no place left to hide
Now people always talkin bout their race
Well pride is pride but hate is simply hate
Circle of truth circle of lies
One will live one will die
I don't hear a thing don't even try
Shut up shut up
I listened to your words now
Shut up shut up
Can't stand to hear you say
Shut up shut up
Just me too many problems
Shut up shut up
And get out of my fuckin' way boy
