Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, and hey, by the way, yeah
Oh, and hey, by the way
[Verse 2]
All the stuff that you said
Hey, buddy, now
Yeah, I heard what you said
All bets are off
You're a choke artist, man
Man, you would have stalled
Running against my race, you're lost
We're all at the matinée
The American Mall
Where corporations won't pay for effects they cause
[Verse 3]
Oh, you won't get away
Even in your fast car
Oh, you won't get away
Send your son to the stars
Oh, you won't get away, hey, hey
Smoke in the garage
Goin' to your head
'Cause your intentions are dead
Dead wrong
[Verse 4]
Deep, deep down body thurst
Wrong
Deep down body thurst
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Oh, you won't get away, yeah
Oh, and hey, by the way
[Verse 6]
Man, fuck what you say
We're gonna climb your wall
Okay, Murphy's Law
It'd be worth the fall
I sure hope you're just talkin', man
And that's all
'Cause we'll go over it, under it, around it
We have the gall
Oh, you're not the Milky Way
Or the center star
It doesn't matter what you win
If inside, you're lost
[Verse 7]
Oh, you won't get away
The way you treat Islam
Oh, you won't get away
Jesus will open his arms
Oh, you won't get away, hey, hey
Mr. Wizard of Oz
It must be goin' to your head
'Cause your intentions are dead
Dead wrong
[Verse 8]
Deep, deep down body thurst
Wrong
Deep down body thurst
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Oh, and hey, by the way
Oh, and hey, by the way
Oh, and hey, by the way
Oh, and hey, by the way
(As you listen to this, know that we're designed for you)
Oh, and hey, by the way
