    Going Nowhere Faster Than You

    by: MDC

    We were going nowhere faster than you
    Our engines were racing hot and our skin turning blue
    Out of our skulls no sleep for a week
    You could say we were major league tweeks
    We were so strung out and having a blast
    Part of that white trash underworld criminal class
    We were running those scams, living life on the lam
    Living so crazy, eye always looking out for the man
    Lowlife trash, bikers and assorted riff-raff
    Could you kick it down is what we used to laugh
    We were so strung out and having a blast
    Part of that white trash underworld criminal class
    We were strung, dumb and problems we thought we had none
    Generational meth lab dysfunctional kinda' fun
    We were going faster nowhere than anybody else
    Sure as hell wasn't good for our health
    I know we just had to see how high we could fly
    Just hope you made it through to the other side
    We would never front you off, but could you front me and pay you back real soon
    Stealing mail, cashing checks, sweating it out in the heat of noon
    Snitch us out and we'll make you pay for it some day
    Thick as thieves is what we used to say...
    Going nowhere fast... nowhere fast... nowhere faster than you
    Then sure enough you're looking out from inside a cell
    Trying to figure a way out of this hell
    Easy getting hooked tougher getting out
    And if you make it then you got the right to sing and shout
    We were so strung out and having a blast
    Part of that white trash underworld criminal class
    We were strung, dumb and problems we thought we had none
    Generational meth lab dysfunctional kinda' fun
    We were going faster nowhere than anybody else
    Sure as hell wasn't good for our health
    I know we just had to see how high we could fly
    Just hope you made it through to the other side
    We would never front you off, but could you front me and pay you back real soon
    Stealing mail, cashing checks, sweating it out in the heat of noon
    Snitch us out and we'll make you pay for it some day
    Thick as thieves is what we used to say...
