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".

I Just Wanna See Lyrics

Smash Mouth

A planet on the go
Its o.k. watching the weeds grow
And if you listen really hard
The earth she hums when its dark
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I dont even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
All the little kids gettin down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up chasin down the women
A paper boy smilin at the job that hes given
The bugs in the grass and the birds all swimmin
Mister moon checkin on how yall livin
The stars all winkin at the day thats dimmin
I just wanna see
The aquaducts overflown
Watching the branches and dolls go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks when shes pale
Sleeping on the ceiling the flies dont fall
Dust bunnies found their way to a wall
And I dont even want to understand it all
I just wanna see
Chorus
Sleeping on the sidewalk the home they call
Doctors and lawyers race for the ball
And I dont even wanna understand it all
I just wanna see
Chorus
I just wanna see
