HMP

Zebrahead

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the show

We want it all, we want it now, we wanted you to know

So keep your hands and legs inside the ride and take it slow

It's bullshit by design, we're out to blow your mind

I ain't no Steve McQueen

I'm like a dead popstar in a magazine

I'm anyone left lost in quarantine

With pro tools cutting up the hit machine

So come and take more, take more

You can't help yourself, no

Escape more, escape more

You can't help yourself, no

Break more, break more

You can't help yourself, no

Puked my heart out on the asphalt (heart out on the asphalt)

Don't think you're cut out for this

Save me from myself

This ain't a test, state of emergency

Cause I can't stop myself

I'm trying my best

Tell me what else could go wrong

I dream like halloween

I got a knife in my back and a song to scream

I watch the walls cave in, inhaling gasoline

It's like that in the middle of this party scene

So come and take more, take more

You can't help yourself, no

Escape more, escape more

You can't help yourself, no

Break more, break more

You can't help yourself, no

Puked my heart out on the asphalt (heart out on the asphalt)

Don't think you're cut out for this

Save me from myself

This ain't a test, state of emergency

Cause I can't stop myself

I'm trying my best

Tell me what else could go wrong

This is some good shit, where'd you get it?

You're such a fucking hypocrite, it's so appropriate

I'm feeling so delinquent and all degenerate

This is some good shit, where'd you get it?

Save me from myself

This ain't a test, state of emergency

Cause I can't stop myself

I'm trying my best

Tell me what else could go wrong

Save me from myself

This ain't a test, state of emergency

Cause I can't stop myself

I'm trying my best

Tell me what else could go wrong

Thanks for coming to the show

It's bullshit by design

Straight out, just lose your mind
