And by Dday we sweat it out D/C#on the street of a Bmrunaway American Adream
At Dnight we ride through the D/C#mansions of glory in our Bmsuicide maAchines
GSprung from cages on D/F#highway 9
Chrome Em7wheeled, fuel injected,Aand steppin' out over the Gline
GBaby this town rips the D/F#bone from your back
It's a Em7death trap, it's a Asuicide rap
I wanna Gget out while D/F#I'm still Em7young
Cause Gtramps like us, Ababy we were born to Drun
