lyrics

straight up through the top
a thousand stations, forty thousand watts
yeah we're strikin' it hot hot hot but still
we can't get out of the parking lot

yeah man, it's the simple things
my friends you all know what I mean
the phone rings, it's the same old same old thing

Jacknife
how'd we get into this?

what you tryin' to say
press us on press us on
the dues we got to pay
that's right, that's right!
we're burning bridges just to light our wahy

opportunity knocks
opportunity knockers

lady luck just slapped my face
what'd I say?

We're burning bridges just to light our way...
