Rubber headed motor junky,
Run me down and try to stomp me.
Throw my life away and I’ll be worthless just like you.
Somewhere now a baby’s crying,
Down the road his mother’s dying
Shot a line and blew her mind and now she’s turning blue.
Don’t you throw your life away
Just wait until another day.
Don’t you throw your life away
Cause baby I can feel it.
Don’t you ever compromise it.
Don’t you even realize it?
Don’t you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.
Trip and fall,
I’m sure you all can tell me
What is on the wall
Behind the liquor store where you get smacked up all the time.
Perfect little life you wasted, overdosed and that death you tasted.
Scared you back into yourself, and now you walk the line
Don’t you throw your life away
Just wait until another day
Don’t you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it.
Don’t you ever compromise it
Don’t you even realize it
Don’t you throw your life away cause baby I can feel it now.
Life away
Life away
Life away
