lyrics

Get it right, get it straight
Barrel down, cross lanes
Fast cars, cheap thrills
Speeds dope but art kills

Fall in line, drop six
Understand this
When art dies, dumb sells
Blood stains the wheel wells

All is fair but don’t mix
Art, war or politics!

Don’t make a sound
Keep an ear to the ground

Interstates, speedways
Too slow, some days
Long shots, short kicks
Blood lust & cheap tricks

Neither hell nor high
Water will hold this now!

But it’s ugly old town
Where thought runs aground

Riot aches, the soft sell
I’ll keep it down, yeah go to hell
Cheap wine & mad skills
Speeds dope but art kills

The soft hits, the cold scenes
That don’t say shit to me
With all said & all done
Gimme room, I’ll fire on the sun

And set fire to the walls
And watch them burn to the ground
It’s an ugly old town
Where thought runs aground
