The Deathryder (affected spelling of ‘deathrider’), subject of this song, was a friend of the band. He was said to be a daring dangerous driver. He later abandoned his demonic ways and adopted a more normal lifestyle.
Musically the song is very fast, typical for the hardcore punk sound of that era...
I've got flames in my eyes
The world I despise
One way to rid my mind
Go downtown
Run over street signs
Deathryder, I'm on the loose
Deathryder, well it's the truth
Deathryder, I've got no heart
Me and my car will never part
Deathryder, deathryder, deathryder
A hundred thousand miles or more
I push the throttle to the floor
Go downtown run over little kids
But stop for girls with big tits
Deathryder, I'm on the loose
Deathryder, well it's the truth
Deathryder, I've got no heart
Me and my car will never part
The dent 5 is on the loose
Gasoline and alcohol: that's my juice
Oh!
You'd better get out of my way
'Cause I'm the deathryder
And I'm gonna live to ride another day
You'd better get the hell out of town
'Cause I'm coming to mow you down
Deathryder, I'm on the loose
Deathryder, well it's the truth
Deathryder, I've got no heart
Me and my car will never part
Deathryder, deathryder, deathryder
