Commentary:
Funny title on this one. Amusingly blunt. This is the one that got to be a crowd favourite when we were doing shows. My delivery on this one is generally really good, except I really should have re-recorded the first verse, I can just hear the exact better flow in my head whenever I hear it, but oh well. The lyrical topic is either serious or silly depending on your philosophies I suppose. Also, I say "once brilliant retarded imbecile" there, which is something I probably wouldn't say nowadays because it kinda sounds mean spirited (ya think?), but anyway. You can prolly figure out what the topic is on your own, so I'll just leave it at that. A solid track with cool music and a good flow.

Lyrics:
Walk around town once or twice, take in the sight
The only people that survive, children of the night
The time is right for some action
Smashin' on vampires and rats trying to hog the light
Fight fight fight like a trooper, get there faster
From the middle of the city to streams through green pastures
I mention, the medicine makes me get tense
Defense is worth twenty-odd percent of pretense, so

You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it like the madman you are

Drive your car far away to where the lovers are
Don't wanna see your hit the tar, steppin' on a star
I rap to live and live to rap, I rip and tear
A metalhead but you can see it when i whip my hair
I couldn't care less about your success
With sex with prostitutes, career down the laundry chutes
It's all about proof, and I got it
To argue the point, you must be psychotic

You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it like a maniac

Take it back down to the source of dark fire
You try hard, but you can't win, you're a liar
A loser, can't control your own shoes, with your own booze
Can't even control your own villainous urges
Every time someone gets the urge as such
I get the urge to rap a third as much
And still come out satisfied, I get DRIVEN
So don't you ever tell me I got no reason for livin', cause

You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it like a once brilliant retarded imbecile,

Better make sure your limbs are still!
You know the purpose of the ride you just bought
Bargaining your last single fuckin' pillar of strength
You got played and now won't go to no particular length
To take down your addiction, everybody's on it
Tickety-tick-tock, there goes another comet
Everybody's wishing for girls and boys
But the horrible noise is makin' me wanna rob them of joys
They won't be kissing next year, the bitching killing my ear
They won't be driving to the movies, they'll be spilling the tears
They won't be driving past the City cause the City is Fear
They won't be crying for the pity cause the pity is HERE
It's a damn shame, look at the pileup, the rain can dry up the pain
But it don't change the fact,
The driver is dead flesh, the spirit is love's soul
I only wish that everybody would have a sense of control

You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it off a cliff
You can take your drive and drive it like the sad man you are
