Iron Eyes Cody
Off The Rails
[Verse 1]
I called her up to tell her something
When she picked up, I forgot it
So I bent my indecision a bit
Hollered, "Martha, I lost it
I mean I finally lost it"
She found hysterics exhausting

And she says, “Your heartbreaking is so breathtaking
And I’ve never done this before
So forgive my interfering
But I couldn’t run anymore
You took my heart on the floor.”
She’s like, “Does that line ever get ‘em in the door?”

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you could shove cocaine up your nose
Cry an ocean, impose that your soul’s awakened
They’d be like

[Chorus]
“Stop breaking everything you’re tryna take.” (I’m off the rails)
We won’t look back, our wheels are turning (I’m off the rails)
Running off the tracks now (I’m off the rails)
It’s a fact that our feet are still burning
But all we got left’s the right to shout
[Verse 1]
And oh my god, she lives in public
With her eyes bloodshot and destructive
And if sex is self-expression, then she’s a lady interrupted
I mean emotionally stunted
Who’s to blame her for fronting?

And I read the paper, it’s sad they couldn’t save her
Come here to lay her to rest
And the western delegation raised a flag
Stuck it deep in her chest
And they drained the milk from her breast
They said, “Her’s ain’t a promise we kept.”

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now you’ve got thirty thousand hours or more
Yeah that’s thirty thousand hours just to get in the door
They’d be like

[Chorus]
“That’s useless, what the hell you staring for?” (I’m off the rails)
We won’t look back, our wheels are turning (I’m off the rails)
Running off the tracks, now (I’m off the rails)
It’s a fact that our feet are still burning
But all we got left’s the right to shout
We won’t look back, our wheels are turning (I’m off the rails)
Running off the tracks, now (I’m off the rails)
It’s a fact that our feet are still burning
But all we got left’s the right to shout
