JOYRIDE
P. Simonon / G. Myrick
Stolen car jumps red lights
Twisted wire sparks new life
Need no keys, hot wire that car
Hijack and blow
Hijack and blow
And go like ...
Speeding under city lights
Highway winding through the night
Burn that fuel, speed up that motion
Joyride that car
Joyride that car
And don't get...
Wheels are sliding
Speeds exciting
Ride like lightning
Crash like thunder...
Headlights sweep the road
Burning through the avenue
Hit the brakes, don't lose control
Joyride that car
Joyride that car

never wrestle with a pig.
you both get dirty;
the pig likes it.
