Racing Down a Dead End
Racing Towards Redemption: The Drippers' Anthem of Reinvention
Lyrics
You say you're built for speedin'
You claim to have a natural inclination for high speed.
You wanna get it on
You're eager to engage or start something.
Keep on talking, you're flyin' close to the sun
Your confident talk is becoming risky or reckless.
Dressed in boots n' leather
You dress in a tough and rebellious manner, wearing boots and leather.
Always at the show
You are always present at music performances or events.
Powdered mirrors are left just to let em know
Mirrors with powder (possibly for drugs) are left out to signal a certain lifestyle.
You're losing ground but you're talkin' louder
You're losing your position or status, but your talk is becoming more assertive.
You wanna tell it straight
You want to communicate directly and honestly.
Sittin' round waitin' for the spotlight, oh yeah
You're waiting for attention in the spotlight.
Cus you're racing down a dead end
You're heading towards a futile or hopeless situation.
Ain't a chance in hell
No possibility of success or improvement.
Yeah it seems to me you ain't no punk
It appears you don't conform to the punk subculture.
Get your head on straight
Get yourself organized or focused.
Cus you're putting on a show
You're creating a performance or display.
Understand you ain't no punk, you punk
Despite not being a punk, you still embody a rebellious spirit.
You've never felt the hot seat,
You've never faced a challenging or difficult situation.
You never walked the mile
You lack experience in enduring hardships.
Disappointed and slowly goin' out of style
You're becoming outdated and disappointing.
Ain't exactly livin'
Your current lifestyle isn't fulfilling or satisfactory.
Waiting round to die
You're idly waiting for an inevitable demise.
Walking backwards, headed for a long good-bye
You're moving backward and heading towards a prolonged farewell.
You're losing ground but you're talkin louder
Despite losing ground, your assertiveness in speech is increasing.
You wanna tell it straight
You want to convey your message directly and honestly.
Sittin' round waitin' for the spotlight, oh yeah
You're waiting for attention in the spotlight.
Cus you're racing down a dead end
You're on a path leading to a futile or hopeless situation.
Ain't a chance in hell
No chance of success or improvement.
Yeah it seems to me you ain't no punk
It seems you don't align with the punk subculture.
Get your head on straight
Organize or focus your thoughts and actions.
Cus you're putting on a show
You're presenting a performance or display.
Understand you ain't no punk, you punk
Even though you're not a punk, you embody a rebellious spirit.
Cus you're racing down a dead end
You're on a path leading to a futile or hopeless situation.
Ain't a chance in hell
No chance of success or improvement.
Yeah it seems to me you ain't no punk
It seems you don't align with the punk subculture.
Get your head on straight
Organize or focus your thoughts and actions.
Cus you're putting on a show
You're presenting a performance or display.
Seems to me you ain't no punk
Even though you're not a punk, you embody a rebellious spirit.
Good for nothing but still no punk
You are perceived as worthless, but still not conforming to the punk stereotype.
Understand you ain't no punk, you punk
Despite being considered of little value, you continue to embody a rebellious spirit.
