You can do it!
Until the break of dawn (life, life)
Cannot go by the letter (time, time)
Prozac can make it better (noise, noise)
Any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away when it's all on you? (Hey, hey)
Crime, crime (rockin' like Janet Reno) (time, time)
Eighteen and life in Chino (Freud, Freud)
All along it's true
Well you'll see there comes a day
Catches up to you, yeah!
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (you're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original Prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original Prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!
You can do it!
You know it smells like shit (goddamn!)
Tag Team the Double Header
Son of Sam, fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplomb
'Cause wherever you're at, that's the tip youse on (hey, hey)
Lies lies, says he's down in the Bahamas (tries, tries)
Bangin' little hoochie mamas (no way)
None of this is true
Well you'll see there comes a day
When the joke's on you yeah!
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (you're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original Prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original Prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!
(Hey) you can do it
Dime, dime (so good to see ya)
Nine, nine (don't wanna be ya)
Dime, dime (so good to see ya)
Nine, nine (don't wanna be ya)
Crime, crime (fine Sensimilla)
Crime, crime (fine Sensimilla)
Crime, crime (fine Sensimilla)
Well, you'll see there comes a day catches up to you, yeah!
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (you're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (it's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original Prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original Prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
Stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!
