Lyrics:

Drive it Like you Stole it

0:26
Drive it like you stole it cause
I’m flying and I’m holding on
For dear life, rear lights
Are never on, always going forward.
As you steer right. Veer left.
New year’s night, and we can’t stop
Here yet. See the light.
Go straight. Turn hard.
Pedal to the metal and you burn tar.
Peeling out. Feelings of doubt
But we escape. Lead the way.
Feed the tape, crank it up.
Making bucks, owing debt.
No regret. Flee the cops.
See the choppers. No we
Don’t need to stop for
anyone, it’s over when I say it’s over.
We’re going to the border
In shorter time cause we
Ordered the crime-
for more than a dime.
Robbing banks, not a prank.
Shot at by tanks, and
chased by the state.
we make the escape
And race for the day
That we don’t have to drive
And take a break.
Now let’s get away

1:11
Well-aware you don’t want to die
And we’re scared but we’re gonna try

I know it’s never up to you
What’s the point if you don’t want to

What you steal is what you drive

And you know that we’ll survive
In pursuit of a different life
I know it’s never up to you
What’s the point if you don’t want to

What you steal is what you drive

1:55 – Stop

2:01
Drive it like you stole it
While I’m trying to console you
that everything will be all right.
Keep driving, need to light
Another cigarette
Just to calm your nerves.
Cause it’s all so absurd.
After what has occurred
Yes, we’re armed robbers
Wrong doing, yardbirds
But we ignore the blue lights
Shooting like cowboys
Nothing hurts more than the truth, right?
You might disagree specifically
on the scheme of how we’re gonna
break free, take me to another place
where we can count money
on the water or in space They won’t
bother to chase
Us, different train stations
On a plane racing
For time, got to shake
The investigation
No rest for vacation
Test my patience
Hit the brakes, wait for it

2:40

2:43
Well-aware you don’t want to die
And we’re scared but we’re gonna try

I know it’s never up to you
What’s the point if you don’t want to

What you steal is what you drive

3:05 – Stop

3:16
Take the guns out
Semi-automatic
Ak-47s
Now the cops are back
It’s a standoff
Who’s gonna go first
You know it’s no worse
Then if we don’t hurt
Pull the lever down
Surrounded by the sound
Exit the vehicle
But we know better now
We’re outnumbered
The clouds are nowhere
It’s Round One so
We got to make a move
We’re out of gas and
The engine’s overheated
About to pass out
The sun’s about to set
I feel the locket in my pocket
Where our dreams are
Good thing I bought a rocket launcher
For my sweetheart

3:50 – Stop

4:00
You don’t want to mess with me now
So get out of my way, no smiling
Run till you see the sun at dawn
It’s a bout to be like Viet nam
You’ve got hand guns while I’ve got bombs
I’ll give you guys a three second head start

4:34 – Chorus

Well-aware you don’t want to die
And we’re scared but we’re gonna try

I know it’s never up to you
What’s the point if you don’t want to

What you steal is what you drive

And you know that we’ll survive
In pursuit of a different life

I know it’s never up to you
What’s the point if you don’t want to

What you steal is what you drive

And now we make our escape
Never turning back
Until we have to again
That’s just the way this works
