Stealing Happy Hours
311 · Transistor
Hazy cannibus porches
Saying no to the bores
It's not mine or yours then I said
The wait sucks I don't mind waiting
Once you get here there's no more gates and I gotta say
Stealing happy hours (4x)
Don't wait on minute more to ask me
You make me feel like Hank Chinaski
In war all the time war war all the time
No one else can seem to find
Stealing happy hours (4x)

The song blends elements of alternative rock and hip-hop with a distinct New York City aesthetic, reflecting the group's deep connection to their urban roots. Produced with a gritty, atmospheric production style, the recording captures the band's ability to weave complex lyrical narratives about personal struggle and resilience into a cohesive musical statement. As a centerpiece of *Transistor*, the track exemplifies the band's shift away from their earlier party-rock image toward a darker, more nuanced exploration of life's challenges, solidifying their legacy in the alternative rock genre during the early 2000s.
