We started TRO many… many years ago. Recently we all took an image together, this comes 5 years after our last album dropped and we officially called it quits, how much have we changed over the years? Apparently not a whole lot…

Short Bus EP Lyrics

admin — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 07:25:57 +0000

~Short Bus~

Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
I ride the short bus
short bus, short bus
I ride the short bus
short bus, short bus Oi!
I ride the short bus
short bus, short bus
I am a retard
-Repeat A lot-

——————————————————————-

~Word of the Day~

These are the word of the da…
These are the words for the next wee…
These are the words for the next two weeks!
Rapid – thought it was dull, insipid, bland, or empty
sort of like this band
he gave us good as his remark
now a plus
confused – muddled, to feel baffled, bothered
child was more plus about his agafera
askew, not to be confused with cashew
astephron, like sect or go, give up or share
askew passing boo
epigraph, what do you say, whipped
Oscar Wilde was celebrating for his epigram,
and the fact that he was a flaming faggot
i don’t know, a freak, differary
dress, short lived
by the way i didn’t mean that comment about Oscar Wilde,
I love gay people
build, darisect, dribble, rubbish
these feet was full of bursting at home
seoradict, super static, to really be understood
tambourine section tambourine has a secret,
its the only sub fusion for execution, tambourine
chimera, illusion, fusion
secrets with the chimera with the fusion
taboo
(I’ve given up on this one, i truly believe that Ben stops using words about half way through)

——————————————————————-

~Urine is to Truck~

I drink urine
I drink urine
I drink urine
The truck is red
-Repeat A lot, intertwine these statements randomly towards end-

——————————————————————-

~Bucket~

Lid opening instructions:
Holding lid between thumb and forefinger-
lift lower lid upward,
continue around the lid until seal is opened
this is a unique bucket
not only does it contain good new to help you make it through final exams
but after that treat is used up
this bucket has many uses
you could just throw it away
but the ultimate challenge is to find uses for the bucket
during your college career and beyond
good luck
here are a few ideas to get you started
hold you laundry detergent to wash your clothes
carry bait for fishing trip
pack the bucket for a picnic in the park
protect your head
use as a hard hat for campus construction areas
fill with soap and water for a cleaning bucket
make some music
use it as a drum
store photographs and memorabilia from college
store items in the bucket for move out day
put your feet up on the bucket
wrap a gift
survival kit
i don’t know whats in here
I’ve got like a aaaa
like a pretty much tomato thing
I’ve got a hello kitty wind up doll
got a aaaa star trek air freshener it looks like
oooo, we’ve got a push pop
jumbo jumpin’ pop up action, cherry
artificially flavored
ingredients
sugar, corn syrup, bupered lactic acid,
pear juice
concentrate
artificial flavor
and 14
we’ve got a lady bug wind up toy
a goldfish box of some sort
I’ve got paperclips
transocean said cup thorex
I’ve got a firefighter badge with a lady bug on it
I’ve even got a piglet
and last but not least
a blind spot mirror
adds wide angle view to your side mirror
side or passenger cars
strong adhesive backing

~Thoughts~

Oi!, wanna hear a joke?
Women’s rights!
You know…
there’s so many things wrong with the world today
I wish i had an answer for why
why parents let their kids go two days without food
because they didn’t so their chores
while they spend their child support
down at the liquor store
now I’m not saying it wasn’t the way it was before
but living in shanty houses down by the river
trying to make ends meat
with no shoes on their feet
they always have their secrets to keep
always looking for that one key
that one ingredient
one thing that is going to solve their life
it’s not out there, it’s what’s in here
it’s always what’s in yourself
you have to look within yourself
have to look in yourself
I wish i had the answer as to why people commit suicide
or why the nations
greatest of all nations capitol
has the highest rate of homicide
i don’t know really
I’m just trying to figure out these questions
does god really exist?
i don’t know
i wish i knew
i wish had an answer
i wish i knew if there was something after death
i wish i knew what happens after i take my last breath
i wish there was a way we could get food to all of the starving
starving people
i wish there was a way
i wish there was a way to get to everyone to see
what we really need
maybe through our TVs
i wish there was a way
to generate this
to give out to others
to give up to others
the golden rule
we need a golden check now-a-days
all that matters is cash
…
i wish we would all learn to reach for the stars
and how great we really are
nothing can stop us
there’s nothing wrong with us
we can do whatever we want
as long as we’re alive
nothing matters
all that matters is that we have each other
all that justice is, is looking down the barrel of a gun
…
all that justice is, is looking down the barrel of a gun
all that justice is, is looking down the barrel of a gun
(I’m not sure about these last lines, i know it’s something something “justice – barrel of a gun”, if you figure it out, please comment)

If you notice flaws in the lyrics please comment, I have deciphered them as best i could but Bens voice goes in and out so it creates issues. So if you know for fact what one part is and my version is completely different, feel free to comment *Note, you have to be signed up to comment*, Thanks.

TRO, The E! True Hollywood Story

admin — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 07:24:40 +0000

Tards Rockin’ Out was born on a sweltering summer day in San Antonio, Texas in 2003, the brain/love child of three highschool friends; Joseph Michael “Mikey” Van Bibber, his brother “Cory”, and Benjamin “Ben” Field. The three friends found themselves surrounded by a dirth of music equipment scattered around an empty room once used as a dance studio at the Van Bibber household. On any other day Mikey, Cory, and Ben, music lovers though they were, would have dismissed any thought of forming a musical super group as a ridiculous childhood dream- but not that day. Something was in the air that summer…something magical…and it wasn’t the anticipation for the next istallment of the highly acclaimed Lord of the Rings Trilogy- no, thise was musical magic. The band was formed under a simple idea- make completely improvised music. Their songs were composed of two simple elements; a theme, and a rift. They had one tape recorder and a few amps, all they needed to cut an album- and they did. Their first EP: Short Bus EP came out in the summer of 2002, much to the awkwardly coerced praise of their close friends around campus. Four EP’s were cut after the initial release featuring the talents of several guest musicians, including the band’s newest permanent member, Jared Deer. (“The Rest of the Story” coming soon, once Ben gets off his lazy ass)
