lyrics

I'm not beat but I've felt the blows
coming full tilt boogie off the radio
I collect the bits that git through the holes
and I get a flame flying so they see smoke

better drop the tricks you slipped up your sleeve
and step outside we're gonna shoot the breeze
the hits kept flipping through the midnight hour
but some young cunt's gonna cut the power

America has got the blues
It's in its face aint in the news
and we're getting better / much better / getting it together

when you're eyes ain't clapped on sun for days
and you rise up blinking from a sewer drain
it ain't alright to just amplify any idle picker that just walks on by

Put your hands inside your coat
the way he play could cut your throat

No tin of peas or can of coke or motel six is gonna rock the boat
there's no fresh fruit for rotting veg what satisfies is in the head

the hits are still flippin in the bungalow
pick him up we gotta get him home

getting the band back together
