 8    -8    8   9   -8 -6   -6   -6    7     -6    7
When your spine is cracking and your hands, they shake,
  8   9   -8  -6  -6   -6   7     -6 -6   6
Heart is bursting and your butt's gonna break.
 7    8  9    -8 -6   -6   7   -6   7    -6 
Your woman's cussing, you can hear her scream,
 7   8    9   -8 -6  -6 -6    7   -6 -6
You feel like murder in the first degree.
 8     8 8 8   8  8    9 -10 -10
Ain't nobody slowing down no way,
-10 9 -10 -10  -10  9  9 -10   9   8  9 7 8 -6
 Ev'rybody's  stepping  on   their accelerator,

Your code of living is your gun in hand.
-6   7   7    8    9  -8 -6    -6  -6   -6   7  -8 7  8
We can't be browed by beating, we can't be cowed  by words,
   8   9   -8  -6    -6   -6 -6 7 7 -6   7
Messed by cheating, ain't gonna  ever  learn.

Ev'rybody walking 'round,
-10 9 -10 9 -10 -10 -10  9  -10  -8   7 8 -6
 Ev'ry body  trying  to step on their Creator.
