When a problem needs a problem solver
Guess who gets the call?
Me that's all
You're duelling with a plugged revolver
Guess who dropped the ball
The writing's on the wall
The French sent us copper lady
Long since turning green
From New York to Los Angeles
And all points in-between
Burning 50 million MegaWatts of
Gasoline
I accept my destiny
I shall start a legacy
The likes of which you've never seen
Make them rip it
Rip it clean
I accept my destiny
I am a ripping machine
So help me!
Rip it! Rip it!
Rip it! Rip it!
Rip it! Rip it!
You're listening to your politicians
They claim to speak to God
Can't you see it's just a fraud?
You're rituals and superstitions
Don't you find them kind of odd?
Might as well kneel before Zod
The French sent us a copper lady
Long since turning green
From New York to Los Angeles
And all points in-between
Burning 50 million MegaWatts of
Gasoline
Oooh!
I accept my destiny
I shall start a legacy
The likes of which you've never seen
Make them rip it
Rip it clean
I accept my destiny
I am a ripping machine
So help me!
Rip it! Rip it!
Rip it! Rip it!
Rip it! Rip it!
Put me in motion
Drink the potion
Use the lotion
Drain the ocean
Cause commotion
Fake devotion
Entertain a notion
Be Nova Scotian
Drink the potion
Put me in motion
Use the lotion
Drain the ocean
Cause commotion
Fake devotion
Entertain a notion
Be Nova Scotian
Drink the potion
Put me in motion
Use the lotion
Drain the ocean
Cause commotion
Fake devotion
Be Nova Scotian
Be Nova Scotian
