Well its only Thursday and it's no one's birthday
But were goin' out for the night
Make a few stops , avoid the traffic cops
Pick up some whiskey and some dynamite
But theres always someone who's gotta spoil it for the rest of the gang
You're such a little bogart and I'm sorry but you just can't hang
Why don't you pass it around
Don't bring the party down
If you don't pass it around We'll run you right out of this town
Well its already Friday gonna do it my way
Everything's ready to go
But later on all the beer is gone
Downed by some guys I don't even know<

Now there comes a time
In every man's life
When the pressure's on
You gotta take a wife

And if I have a good time, do you call that an act of war
Well you better believe it boy, this house is your home
I didn't build it up for you to live here on my own
And if you think it's easy to forget about me
You'd better think twice, you'd better believe it's an act of war

I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who do you thinks out there
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down there
I swear that there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads "Do your time"
Everybody's doing their sentence
It's just there ain't nobody here who knows just what's the crime
I watched my father live a lie here
I'd rather die than fade away
I read the rules
And yeah I know them
You ain't ever gonna make me play the game of fear
Fear
Fear
Of a new thing
