STRAIGHT THRU CRU

She likes my voice

But I'm not done

When we're talking sweet

In her brother's room

Under her dress

Is nothing at all

As she works

And works and works

 

She knows the faces on the door

Make the city shake

Make the city roar

What the hell did she ask me for?

If you knew what I would say

You know what I'm gonna say

 

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't

This is what it feels like

To win

 

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't

This is what it feels like

To win

 

She says I don't care

'bout the way thing were

'Cause you're here tonight

And that's the way things are

Don't be a bore or an open wound

'Cause it's tired

And you're making me tired

 

Let's pretend that it's just a game

As we set controls

To go all the way

Uptown

Downtown

Williamsburg

It goes on

And on and on...

 

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't

This is what it feels like

To win

 

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't sweat it

Don't

This is what it feels like

To win

 

And we won

 

There's a lifetime

Of bad karma

And it's waiting here for us

And you swore

It would be different

And you swore

It would be pure

But today's the day you learn

It's time to give up
