Here are the lyrics to Mikey Maybe and Mitchmatic‘s song, Served Cold, one of three entries in The Journal‘s puck rock contest:
I took a phone pic of my own fist throw another hater on the list Breath out, grind my teeth down grip my smart phone like I'm making diamonds out of charcoal Yo Mike, tell me what your plan is like 'whatya' doin' with that bathtub full of ice and all those bags of zip ties? and where's the surprise? you said there would be a surprise. If not then why on the ride did you cover my eyes? and my mouth is dry, what am I eating? have you been feeding me lies? Hey man, I can hardly feel my legs, man I've been doing lunges while these kids are doing kegstands and getting fake tans, while I've been hit 'til my eyes like an eggplant, time for some pay back It's finally time for you to know that we've taken enough ready to go thinking you can get the best of us, but when I step it up you're gonna be kissing on my toes. And in a minute all of the pain will be gone so estranged from the thought of escape that you've all be erased the resolve from your face Mikey Maybe got your world moving slow. Go ahead Go ahead... Cuz It's best served cold! Cold sweat awakened needing no hesitation I arose, and know alone what I'm facing. Patience. Breathing slow on occasion I am growing elated as I go undertake it And oh I'm amazing! And when I blow all you jerks are gonna eat your big words in my basement! (Hit me again) I don't get paid to be painless (So Hit me again!) I'm making copper while I taste it. (Eberle breakdown) You teasin' me? Comin' for a piece of me? Pieces of you are gonna populate this hockey bag I'm eating my food, old coffee, old coffeemate, burnt toast... Never let your nerves show, when you serve cold Always knew that this day would come, finally we'll see something done cause I will meet you there, don't be scared Never thought it could be so easy kinda hoped it would feel more pleasing but still we must continue, we must continue. Go ahead Go ahead... Cuz It's best served cold!
