Driving the Wrong Way Down a One-Way Street

Guest artist: Yuergen Renner - rap vocal, harmonica

He’s hell on wheels, bad to the bone,
Numerous sins for which to atone
If you see him coming, better leave him alone
Don’t try to call him on the telephone
‘Cause he’s…

CHORUS:

Driving the wrong way down a one-way street,
Striking fear into the people I meet
Stay out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat
‘Cause I’m driving the wrong way down a one-way street

Born on the wrong side of the subway tracks,
Occasionally prone to panic attacks
Plenty of cash to buy what he lacks
Carries it around in brown paper sacks

Ten times smarter than the average bear
If he sells you a used car, “buyer beware”
If the engine exploded, he wouldn’t care
Be careful when you drive it anywhere

If he should screw up, ignore his mistakes
Don’t say a word about the trouble he makes
If you see him driving toward you, better slam on the brakes
Stay out of his way, whatever it takes

And now my tale of woe is complete
About the man who drives the wrong way down a one-way street
Told you once, don’t make me repeat
What I said about the man, who drives the wrong way down a one-way street
