Newsboys - Breakfast

*Song only*

Lyrics:

Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend's cereal bowl.

Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat:
"You will lose it in your gym class if you wait til noon toeat".

Back when the Chess Club, said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:

Chorus:
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON'T SERVE BREAFAST IN HELL

Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies
Though to some our friend was odd,
that day he bought those pine pyjamas
His check was good with God

Those here without the lord,
How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh rise up, Fruit Loop lovers-
Sing out sweet and low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother "Cheerio!"

chorus (repeat til fade)

@StillChasingBunnies OMG, great point! lolol

[ninjutsukan]

@StillChasingBunnies Shit just got REAL.

[WendyKathyStephy]

I remember seeing them in concert at Spirit West Coast, and when they played this song, two-thirds of the audience members had at least one box of Captain Crunch, and were all throwing it up in the air and at each other. Memories...

[Sanity777]

This song always connected with me, They were an awesome band, and it makes me think of my childhood.

[StillChasingBunnies]

It's amazing how this song is about Christianity and someone like @jillybean190 , can just take the lords name in vein in a response. It really is fascinating o.O

[thyringmaster]

wow i still love this song ive strayed alot but i working my way back

[jillybean190]

Oh my god xD I remember listening to this when I was little cause my dad was like a Jesus freak xD It's weird to listen to now! Whenever he'd put it in I'd tell him to put on this song, it was my favorite. It's kinda sad now that I don't have a religion and I hate his voice xD It's just my opinion though. But I remeber and still listen to the Christian band Showbread, l don't care that I'm not Christain, I think it's interesting knowing other peoples beliefs. I love Showbread! Look them up!

A testimony of love goes a long way , today, to preach hell , just calls to the distorted youth, of today, they will gather, it. . , love , not hell, hell is not are division, or judgement, love we can show and give testimony of.

[AshRash100]

[reaves35]

You will lose it in your gym class...if you wait till noon to eat!

Thanks Peter for all of your awesome songs!

[albaskateboarding]

@peoswriter1 yeah

[peoswriter1]

@albaskateboarding I'm not sure where you get that, but It's open to interpretation. I doubt the group is promoting careless living, though, being solidly Christian. Still, any poetry is open to interpretation, so no worries.

[albaskateboarding]

@peoswriter1 It all depends on how you read the lyrics if you know what I mean.Not saying that your wrong.

[albaskateboarding]

@peoswriter1 I have always thought the song was saying that hell is not a place with breakfast and that we should live life carelessly. But it depends on a persons point of view.Cool song. 

[peoswriter1]

@albaskateboarding I'm not sure, but I always thought that the song was supposed to remind the kids in the breakfast club that the meal they were enjoying was a small gift from God and not something they could enjoy without him providing it. Could be wrong but it makes sense to me.

[albaskateboarding]

no breakfast in HELL what the HELL

[policeexpl]

I remember playing this song when I ran the christian skate at the skating rink I worked at..

[quieteagle333]

This song was awezome i remember seeing it live at creation.
