(CHORUS):
Flyover Flyover Step on the gas kick down the accelerator Flyover flyover Don't wanna get banged up don't wanna get captured (VERSE1): Mr. Transmetropolitan get out of my way There ain't enough hours in my day The city's on fire in the pouring rain Steam is rising faster than a runaway train In the battle on the streets you fight computers And Receipts In a bloody turf war between Prada Gucci A killer behind the wheel who ain't never going home Skidding and sliding outside the transit zone (CHORUS): Flyover Flyover Step on the gas kick down the accelerator Flyover Flyover Don't wanna get banged up don't wanna get captured Flyover Flyover Step on the gas kick down the accelerator Flyover Flyover Dont wanna get banged up don't wanna get captured (VERSE2): Speedin through the invisible 20 percent Watch the race between the guilty and the Innocent Rubbing shoulders with the superclass engines Burnin up the hoorahs in South Kensington Choking up London firing smoke into the air Some days you'd rather be anywhere but here Choking up London firing smoke into the air Some days you'd rather be anywhere but here (CHORUS): Flyover Flyover Step on the gas kick down the accelerator Flyover Flyover Don't wanna get banged up don't wanna get captured (2x): The City is blind but it will not slow down The drive to destruction is the heaviest sound But switch to the underground and it's another story as the sound surrounds you with positive energy as the bass line pumps with creativity you know this is the place to be You know it's always been the place to be You know it's always been the place to be You know this is the place to be Tell em tell em London city (CHORUS): Flyover Flyover Step on the gas kick down the accelerator Flyover Flyover Don't wanna get banged up don't wanna get captured Don't wanna be down in the tube station at the stroke of midnight You only wanna go where there's plenty of light Don't ask for directions man they tell ya the wrong way You know there's never time You know there's never enough hours in the day The city is blind but it will not slow down the drive to destruction is the heaviest sound |

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round
How many megatons will it take To make them turn around The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons will it take To make them turn around every man is left behind everyman has lost his mind Exocets and dollar signs Bounce off the shell of me tank Another missile flying high snaking cross the desert sky Oilmen in their jeeps ride by speeding to the bank the wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons it take to make them Turnaround Tombstone Cops with Gripping Hands Playing Cowboys in the sand Nothing ever goes as planned deep inside my tank Shell-suited booted goggles flash Tripping out under the trax Buffalow soldiers high on crack Smokin in me tank Fox by foxed news my head is confused Sometimes I think that I'm being used Suppress all thoughts automatic mode So I can't see the ghosts crowding the road The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons will it take to make them turnaround Awaken Mesopotamia Never left No Hope City, Georgia The world is Shitsville, Arizona Death Metal getting louder and louder Pumping in me tank Searching for the Hindu Bomb Searching for the muslim bomb Still on the lookout for the suicide bomb Get on your knees and thank Christ for the Bomb |

Step forward Youth At the moment of truth
Don't be distracted don't be the fool Step forward youth At the moment of truth Go beyond the senses Get a clear view When you're Deafened by the sound of betrayal And there's no one left to trust Falling off the end of the scale You carry on because you must when you're down to the last of your senses The pain is blocking out all thought Somehow you gotta pull yourself together you gotta make good all things you been taught When you're Deafened by the sound of betrayal And there's no one left to trust Falling off the end of the scale You carry on because you must Just when you think it's all over Just when they think you're falling back in line maybe just a small word to a young child Maybe just a moment of peace In your mind Step forward Youth At the moment of truth Don't be distracted don't be the fool Step forward youth At the moment of truth Go beyond the senses Get a clear view Forward youth Backward never Mo' Fire |

See their eyes see their lies
Unelected rejected it don't matter anyway See their smile Read their file By hook or by crook they always find their way Still at the bottom of the learning curve Maybe got the leaders that we deserve Biting the burger makes our brains get smaller waistlines getting larger we wanna make it harder We gotta be as hungry as they are We gotta be as hungry as they are Get hungry Get angry Get Hungry And take back the power Put your fist in the air Rebels here and everywhere Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare times dem tough Justice rough A million on the streets don't seem to be enough taken for a ride way down inside livin rent free within your mind Mercenary military use everything they got Coup d'etat make us pay for every shot Believe the world they show breathe the air they blow Losing sense of what I know is real and what is not We gotta be as hungry as they are We gotta be as hungry as they are Get hungry Get angry And take back the power Put your fist in the air Rebels here and everywhere Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare |

I know of a place not so far away
Where no government holds sway Where no Prime Minister is given the time of day Where the people demand to have a say And they say tomorrow begins today So I know I have to find a way I'm leaving today To where no fences may bar my way Where my imagination Can be led astray Tomorrow begins Today |
