Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

Force Field Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Todays escape will consist of a mask
I found it in a bargain bin
Why do you ask
Rosy cheeks and a smile
Theres no shame in my game of denial
Dont you touch, move along
Keep your hands inside
Ask enough from afar
Enjoy the ride
It dont get much better than this
Theres the riff, heres the hook,
Wheres the myth
Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
Beaten down on all fours
And theyll stare as they pass
Please dont feed or provoke
Or tap on the glass
Bet you never felt quite like that
You could say, dont complain where Im at
Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field
Bridge
You wont see me cry (you wont you wont)
You wont see me die
Instrumental
The escapade still exists of the task
Of pullin off a miracle out of my @$$
It dont get much better than that
A savvy fox, a loyal dog, a sunny cat
Chorus
Manning my stations
Taking control of the situation
Say hello to my force field (say hello to my force field)
Say hello to my force field (say hello to my force field )
Say hello to my force field
Say hello to my force field
