Where the Rubber Hits the Road (from the album Chaos Rise Up)
Where the rubber hits the road and the shit hits the fan,
Goin’ to lighten my load as fast as I can.
I’m a textbook case in a postcard town,
People think I’m crazy when I’m drivin’ around.
Walk the walk, talk the talk. Into the light in the tunnel.
Psycho stalk, screeching chalk. Pour me into your funnel.
Now they’re doin’ what they’re told drawin’ lines in the sand,
Holdin’ on to hope, get behind the man.
Used to think I knew, but now who knows?
Does it matter after all what path I chose?
Hook or crook, read the book. No one cares when you’re in trouble.
Watch your six, play your licks. Use the system as a shovel.
Until the break of dawn, we hold our heads up high.
Through the distance and dust, we try to survive.
Bait and switch, dig the ditch. Wipe the sweat from your stubble.
Cut the frame, change your name. Send the doctor on the double.
Bark the dog, tie the hog. Churn me into your butter.
Lightning flash, out of cash. Give in to me and no other.
Kick your fix, they’re playin’ tricks. Baptized in your river.
Synergy, or so it seems. Come out swinging the winner.
Where the rubber hits the road and the shit hits the fan,
Goin’ to lighten my load as fast as I can.
I’m a textbook case in a postcard town,
People think I’m crazy when I’m drivin’ around.
Walk the walk, talk the talk. Into the light in the tunnel.
Psycho stalk, screeching chalk. Pour me into your funnel.
