VERSE Here's your come-down Monday Too blind drunk to see, feel, touch, taste or smell Self Abuse day Tuesday With a gram of one way ticket to hell Common Sense day Wednesday That's the only day I live my best lies Thursdays the new Friday Blowing Steam out of the 9 to 5 Grind PRE-CHORUS Weekend fights with your lover And Mr Bartender Lines us up a couple of shots Of Tequila CHORUS While you suck my Whiskey Dick And blow my polo nose I'll be dancing with my devil on a tightrope Waiting for the car crash Buckle up bitch and ride With a feeling I've been speeding Living life on a line MIDDLE Welcome to your Rollercoaster You gotta be this high to ride it x 2 Ooooooph - The Comedown PRE-CHORUS Weekend fights with your lover And Mr Bartender Lines us up a couple of shots Of Tequila CHORUS x 2 While you suck my Whiskey Dick And blow my polo nose I'll be dancing with my devil on a tightrope Waiting for the car crash Buckle up bitch and ride With a feeling I've been speeding Living life on a line

Worldwide Individuals, Locked down like we're criminals, Living by the rules, We get a little fed up with Feeling like we're fools Treated like we're sheep Fed to Big Bad Wolves In a system they corrupted We might be too old to die young Living Fast Still feels like living Flying too close to the sun Sailing too close to the wind Grind our bones to make some dough Grind our bones to make some bread WHITE COLLARS MAKIN DOLLARS FOR A WORLD THAT TAKES OUR CENTS Feelings of Suspicion, Six O' Clock News on the television Cooking up a storm Are we just a little bored Live to work to make a living Like a dead horse they'll keep whippin Kept in place by laws They create to take what's yours We might be too old to die young Living Fast Still feels like living Flying too close to the sun Sailing too close to the wind Grind our bones to make some dough Grind our bones to make some bread WHITE COLLARS MAKIN DOLLARS FOR A WORLD THAT TAKES OUR CENTS

Dog Eat Dog World Sure could use some help Cos I got no one, I got nowhere else Did your old lady throw you out onto the streets Saying you're a Junkie, you're a liar and a thief Nowhere left to run what will you become Not even powders got the power that you need To realise You've fallen by the wayside I know that I'll survive Wont you, throw a stranger a lifeline One Chance in a lifetime Even though I know I've only got myself to blame Feels like I'm trying to strike a match stood in a hurricane And my rock bottoms coming, like a train You've fallen by the wayside Dog Eat Dog world Sure could use some help Where your soul go There's a hole instead Did your old lady throw you out onto the streets Saying you're a Junkie, you're a liar and a cheat Nowhere left to run what will you become And only evil from the needle that you need You've fallen by the wayside I know that I'll survive Wont you, throw a stranger a lifeline One Chance in a lifetime Even though I know I've only got myself to blame Feels like I'm trying to strike a match stood in a hurricane And my rock bottoms coming, like a train You've fallen by the wayside
