[Verse 1]
Will I drive out in the night?
Never come back in a mighty fright
Stay out longer while I can
Picking fossils in the sand
I admire all the games
Another asshole lights the flame
Rusted clotheslines in the sun
Noise control, I've sunken
I will smile the greatest written smile
No one to complain
Written in chrome and gore
It's all the same
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah-ooh)
[Verse 2]
All I ever wanted was a piece to myself
All I ever wanted was a nine-to-five
People hide what they feel inside
So they'll cover it up 'til it's grey and dry
A pussy is a piece of skin wrapped in a pocket
All the king's men fell down on their knees
Raised their arms to the leader outside
Praising the devil, they said, "Hell fuck yeah!"
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah-ooh)
[Bridge]
I can't fight it, I can't hide
Will you take me over?
Little devil run around inside
Will you take me under?
I can't breathe if I cannot see
I can't see if I can't breathe
[Verse 3]
All I ever wanted was an afternoon
A middle class and an open sky
They rushed in the square with the paper alight
They pushed down a statue and spat on its side
A feeling is a piece of skin wrapped in a pocket
All the king's men fell down on their knees
Raised their arms to a leader outside
Praising the devil, they said, "Hell fuck yeah!"
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ah-ooh)
[Bridge]
I can't fight it, I can't hide
Will you take me over?
Little devil run around inside
Will you take me under?
I can't breathe if I cannot see
I can't see if I can't breathe
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Fuck yeah
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
