The second track from Helmet’s album Size Matters. It was their first album after a breakup 6 years prior.
The song uses a car as a metaphor for a relationship. Fittingly, it is featured on the soundtrack of Need for Speed: Underground 2,
There's another sucker born
Every minute lord
Take her out and pay for a good time
Never know what you can afford
Another wreck and time to collect
More souvenirs
Gone another million miles
No worse for the wear
And there's a sucker born
Every other minute lord
And he deserves you more
You know I'll only crash this car
Swear to god I'm wrecking it all
Your happy end
Spin around the block in half the time
I know where you've been
Too bad you're not feeling too bad
Wanna be my friend?
Got another ride and you're taking off
Met a General Motor man
And there's a sucker born
Every other minute lord
And he deserves you more
You know I'll only crash this car
There's a sucker born
Every other minute lord, I know
He deserves you more
You know I'll only crash this car
You know I'll only crash
You know I'll only crash this car, dear lord
Know I'll only crash
You know I'll only crash this car
