Alkaline Trio - Jaked On Green Beers Lyrics






It's been a long time since I've been close to you
It's been a long time since I've been sad.
It's been a while since I've really spent time with you
Wish I could take back the times that I had.
The only thing that you ever really did for me
Was make me oh so miserable.
And the hope that I never see your face again
Is anything but questionable.

I hope this is goodbye.
I hope this is goodbye.

There was a time when I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk.
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.
The only thing that you ever really took from me
Were my records to sell them for dope.
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest
And my happiness helping me cope

I hope this is goodbye [x4]

It's been a long time since I've been close to you.
It's been a long time since I've been sad.
It's been a while since I've really spent time with you.
Wish I could take back the times that I had.
The only thing that you ever really did for me
Was make me oh so miserable.
And the hope that I never see your face again
Is anything but questionable.
There was a time that I thought you were a friend to me
I think those times I was probably just drunk.
And if they offered a test about being a good friend
I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.
The only thing that you ever really took from me were my records to
Hawk them for dope.
Now all I have left is this heart in my chest,
Your dishonesty helping me cope.

I hope this is goodbye.
I hope this is goodbye....

  11. I.... F....

    temazo!

  12. N.... C....

    I don’t ever listen to the radio that’s because I have amazing taste. I really want you to get together with Dan Andriano. The best two vocalist in my opinion and of course my opinion is the only one that counts. I have yet to hear a shitty from the TRIO and I insist that you keep going on making music for people who want to believe that they know what good music is. Hold on all the excitement made me not even feel that number 2. just think about the words you use for lyrics. minds of have a great gift and that is what you’re writing for me? I will your song all day long when I have to get Chemo. I just want you guys to know that you have single handily made a permanent scar in my life and that soul of mine. I don’t know how many artists are capable of making your hair stand up on your neck. I have a good feeling about Luciferian blues and Dan oil can brings tears to my eyes and I love it KILLER MUSIC AND THE MUSIC TOUCHES MY SOUL WITH OUT DOUBT every time personally I’ve heard about every single kind of music that you’re going to be able to get your hands on and your musical skills of The Rolling Stones. Hey you guys are responsible for the way you’re always singing that I have an amazing ability to cure my cancer just because I always have a smile on my face when I’m listening to the music that you are putting in my ears. Favs:by far. Blue in the face. Acoustic music of the song Crimson. Ssssooooo sick. Really quick the best lyrics ever is SHAKING LIKE A DOG SHITTIN RAZOR BLADES , waking up next to nothing I’ve written about my life and the positive feeling that you get to experience

  13. S.... ....

    Until it was pointed out I never noticed backing vocals are autotuned

  14. M.... ....

    I always thought this song was called jaked on green bars and he was singing about being addicted to xanax

    M.... ....

    Meanbirds I always thought it was, Jacked on Green Beans

  15. T.... P....

    Atticus.

    R.... C....

    Alkaline 182 my good friend😜

  21. C.... N....

    HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

  22. T.... B....

    Alkaline Trio are one of my favourite bands, but to all the numpties that don't believe there's auto tune on this song; listen to the line starting 2:54 with Dan singing is entirely auto tuned. if you can't hear that, you have shite audio equipment. (hardware/anatomically)

    T.... B....

    +Roger Quarterman Yeah, as this is a collection of previously recorded songs I think that it has been tweaked for the album.

    T.... B....

    @Roger Quarterman pitch correction has been commonplace since  about 97-98. im pretty sure this song was recorded in 2002 for the atticus album. it doesnt have to be "autotune" either it could be melodyne or one of the various other "insoftware" pitch correction tools. you can also hear very blatantly when he says "goodbye" the pitch correction, unless he sucked a robot off before he went into the vocal booth.

    T.... B....

    +RC Codes hahahaha I didn't know that man. Wasn't melodyne or whatever a Moog instrument?

    T.... B....

    +RC Codes I remember first hearing this on the atticus album....fell in love

    T.... B....

    It definitely has an effect on it, but I feel like that is kinda different from when pop artists who are tone deaf use auto tune as a crutch, whereas this is a stylistic thing.

  23. A.... V....

    this is classic alkaline trio

  24. P.... ....

    This is just a reminder of playing in a shitty punk band with my cousin. Yeah that's it. So much fun.

  25. E.... N....

    Awesome song... love it!

  26. A.... F....

    Excellent (lyrics) in this video.  

  27. J.... B....

    this album reminds me of grade 9.. i had it in my discman for like a month.. bein' awkward with girls, too haha

    J.... B....

    @Jason Brockbankit helped me to pick up girls back then.

    J.... B....

    @kylecon602 AT was pretty good like that

    J.... B....

    Jason Brockbank Now I bet you’re a Pussy Magnet!

  28. Y.... ....

    Holy shit this is amazing. It's like their self titled mixed with a bit of Good Mourning. This LP is some of their best work.

    Y.... ....

    It's a B-side comp. Songs range from From Here to Infirmary to Crimson eras.

  29. A.... P....

    Matt skiba has the best voice in punk music

    A.... P....

    what about Glenn Danzig?

    A.... P....

    Greg Graffin. They all aspire to be.

    A.... P....

    You are 100 percent correct

    A.... P....

    check out some of dans solo stuff like in the emergency room he is a god

    A.... P....

    Keith Morris takes this title

  30. A.... P....

    this album sounds amazing

  31. x.... ....

    Its been awhike since ive really spent time with you wish I could take back those times that I had

  32. E.... K....

    im pretty sure youre right

  33. M.... ....

    Does this song sound a bit like NoFX to anybody else?

    M.... ....

    Only the drums.

    M.... ....

    Nope, not,trying to sound like a dick. But nah

  34. F.... R....

    Good old memories from my 15's

  35. T.... ....

    Who are you? And why are you still trolling some of my friends on Facebook?

  36. P.... P....

    "Thank you (Alkaline Trio) for helping me not punch people in the face, and be an even bigger asshole at the same time!" - great line. timeless.

  37. S.... A....

    Ever since I bought Atticus: Dragging the Lake when it came out I always thought Dan's voice was ATed, and I'm still positive it is on this track.

  38. j.... m....

    you suck

  39. M.... ....

    who gives a shit if it is or isn't autotuned its still amazing

  40. J.... T....

    i'm really sorry that you found out bear, and you had perfect right to scream at me... just take me back and ill spank you on the ass with that purse of urs and we can be 2gether again

  41. D.... D....

    Nah, you wanna hear Dan singing with auto tune look up the live studio version of "Do You Wanna Know?" That is auto-tuned alk (which is by no means bad) but yeah no auto-tune here, dan can just sing weird.

  42. T.... ....

    Not really man, it felt good, it was cleansing.

  43. R.... M....

    That's quite sad.

  44. R.... M....

    fuck off, made in a private studio near 6 years ago, suck me wab.

  45. B.... W....

    It's the raw backing vocals that make it sound oh so perfect. No autotune here.

  46. T.... ....

    Honestly looking back I probably looked like an idiot but if there's one thing I can say about the 23 years I've been there is I have no regrets whatsoever.

  47. D.... P....

    i dont think there is either, but you can autotune live performances

  48. D.... P....

    its not autotuned, autotune is a program that takes your input and matches it to a pitch in key, some notes in the song may have been tuned, but my going in with a plug in and modifying the actual soundwave to the nearest note. its sounds much more real, and is used much more sparingly. just a couple notes in the song if anything.

  49. J.... C....

    Most music IS auto tuned but not to the extent that most people think when they hear those words. Most people think Brittany Spears/Black Eyed Peas/Cher when they hear auto tuned. Most studio music is adjusted to be brought to pitch. I am with Abyss on this as well. That isnt BS auto tuning but rather just a rapid pitch change. I can do that with my natural voice to. No doubt that the album has audio adjustments though. No one really wants all albums to be live ones. thats just mho though

  50. E.... B....

    ...i think maybe dan just has range....there is no auto tune, at least not to like a kesha or adam levine level... it wasnt tweaked to change his voice if you notice dan sounds like this a lot

  51. F.... Y....

    fuck yeah :D

  52. s.... ....

    Dude, All I have to say is, that you are my hero ;)

  53. R.... O....

    If they offered a test about being a good friend I'd put money down that you'd surely flunk.

  54. B.... B....

    Everyone gets hung up on vocal tuning but no one seems to care if the snare drum is a sample or that the guitar has 47 tracks. By your logic this too should outrage you yet I've never heard a thing about either on YouTube. You're all a bunch of hypocritical band-wagoners! It's called mixing and they do it because it sounds sweeeeet.

  55. R.... ....

    Dan Andriano is one of my favorite song writers, maybe my favorite musician.

    If you can't hear the autotune on his voice here you don't know what autotune sounds like.

    R.... ....

    but Skiba sings this song, Not Dan...

  56. S.... W....

    most people have ears but in nuceful's case something went wrong with whats in between them.

  57. S.... H....

    decent attempt 2/10 tops

  58. S.... H....

    that is certainly not autotune. listen to any other track dan sings on. he has a partial yodel thing sometimes.

  59. C.... R....

    My ex really did sell all my records for dope. I could scream this song until I die! I've never been able to relate to something more than this.

  60. C.... ....

    I'm about 95% sure that there isn't. I don't hear it, and since you can find videos of them playing it live and it sounds exactly the same, I doubt it.

  61. C.... ....

    The part that doesn't exist?

  62. a.... v....

    & this goes out to my ex boyfriend that dumped me on valentines day!:}
    t(^_^t)

  63. h.... ....

    whelp, just broke up with my long distance girl. funny how they rip out your guts and then wanna be friends -_- all well, nothin that a plethora of jack and trio cant fix

  64. I.... S....

  70. T.... ....

    I screamed the end of this song at my ex-fiancee as she walked away from me with my uncle who she cheated on me with. Felt so good to just scream, "I hope this is goodbye!" over and over at her. Thank you Alkaline Trio for helping me not punch people in the face, and be an even bigger asshole at the same time!
