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
