he swift driver shouts 'you'll be meat for the street'

You think, and lower your head into his car

Picking on kids? Black asphalt sends heat

You watched him smoking a cigar

You think, and lower your head into his car

Sun glints on chrome, reflects in his mirror shades

You watched him smoking a cigar

He looks down and reaches for the blade

Sun glints on chrome, reflects in his mirror shades

And windy leaves rustle in the breeze

He looks down and reaches for the blade

As garbage truck dump, leaves a trail of stink

And windy leaves rustle in the breeze

Hockey sticks swing through branches, retreat

As garbage truck dump, leaves a trail of stink

Rage is razor where jugular meets

Hockey stick swings through branches, retreat

Picking on kids? Black asphalt sends heat

Rage is razor where jugular meets

The swift driver shouts 'you'll be meat for the street'
