Lyrics

[Intro]

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north, my cat says, "Ee-ack"

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

[Verse 1]

95 percent of hayseeds (Hit the north)

Are compound, guaranteed (Hit the north)

Computers and fashion hotels

Cops can't catch criminals

But what the heck, they're not too bad

They talk to God

[Refrain]

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Manacled to the city

Manacled to the city (Hit the north)

[Verse 2]

All estate, all es—, all estate agents alive

Yell down nights in hysterical breath

Those Northern Lights, so pretty

Those big, big, big wide streets

Those useless M.Ps

Savages

[Refrain]

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

[Verse 3]

From the back third eye psyche

The reflected mirror of delirium

East Ender and Victoria's lager

The induced call, mysterious

Comes forth

[Outro]

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north

Hit the north
