[Verse 1]

[Chorus]
Oh, we use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Oh, we use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
[Verse 2]
We are serious
Oh, serious
Dollar here, dollar there

Big while, big, big smile
[Chorus]
We use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Oh, we use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
[Verse 3]

Every woman and every man
Things are gonna go far
Down a real big fast car
And what you see is what you get
Keep 'em hungry, you bet
You need security

We use them awhile then it's over the shoulder

We use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Oh, we use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
We use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Oh, we use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
We use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
Use them awhile then it's over the shoulder
