Lyrics

Nerve Damage!

We got the special remedy We got electric skin Novocaine We gotta wipe the wipers And dodge the snipers And try to keep the rattlesnakes from fucking it up You got nerve damage You got nerve damage You got nerve damage The cops must've took you down The cops must've took you down The cops must've took you down Cops say they don't need a staff aid We gotta wipe the wipers And dodge the snipers And try to keep the rattlesnakes from fucking it up We got nerve damage We got nerve damage We got nerve damage The cops must've took you down The cops must've took you down The cops must've took you down
