about

I've decided to cleve Dead City Beat into two projects. The dubby noisy side of the project will be released under Dead City Beat. The more punk influenced stuff will be released under Red Arms (redarms.bandcamp.com). And what better way to kick things off with a Replacements cover. I will never get sick of this song.

lyrics

Don't get a doctor, don't get my mother
It's too far to walk, gotta decide
Turn around, we're takin' a ride

So take another pill from your purse
Take a little ride in a hearse
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride

Going real fast, hanging out the window
Drinking in the back seat, half the bottleat full throttle
The light was green, so was I
The radio's blasting, turn that shit off

90 miles an hour, slidin' on grease
I got my doubts we'll make it in one piece
Just takin a ride
We're takin a ride
We're takin a ride

Stay right there, go no further
Don't get a doctor, don't get your mother
Out of the car, your hands on the hood
Takin a ride but it's doin' no good
