We've Got It Goin' On

Staring down on a barrel fire going to burn my sins away
Diggin' down in the here and now 'til
tomorrow is yesterday
A credit card and a shotgun shell and 25 cents in cash
Give it a throw into the orange glow
stand back and watch it flash
A senator on the evening news
Wants to buy me a drink and a pair of shoes
So I say "What the hey, I got nothing to lose"
And I'm gone
Deaf and dumb
Rip and roll
The day has come
To keep your money and save your soul
We’ve got it going on
We’ve got it going on
Does an empire falling ever make a sound
Bearing down on a barrel horse with
a side car made of glass
Waking up on a bed of nails up on Hibernation Pass
Blacking out on a rush of pain kind of felt like home to me
In the end I learn again that freedom isn’t free
A hippie girl with a book of dreams
Wants to give me a kiss and a plate of beans
So I say “What they hey, if you know what I mean”
And I’m gone.
Crash and burn
Rise and fall
Live and learn
To keep your money and save your soul
