And gets faster and faster and faster and faster and faster and faster until a really fast and short guitar solo.

We can do it all on our own. Nothing to worry. Regret must weigh a ton Kick kick kick till the laws are broken Kick kick till the boots are worn Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken Hit hit till the truth is born 3rd Verse: I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
