Lyrics

MEDS AND FEDS

I just give a damn, damn, damn
I just give a damn, damn, damn

I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn, damn, damn

I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn, damn, damn

I just give a
I just give a
I just give a

I just give a damn
I just give a damn
I just, I just give a

Who says all the rules are made with rulers?
We break 'em and break in their computers
I ain't buying no more from them looters
Who try to outschool us?
So we jump on our scooters
I hope you understood us

I just give a damn, damn, damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn
I just, I just give a damn, damn, damn

I just give a
I just give a
I just give a

I just give a damn
I just give a damn
I just, I just give a

Hocus, pocus but you can't take away our focus
We're growing up in middle of the digital ruckus
You can say fuck us, I ain't putting on the stoppers
We could be hackers, making it like Lakers
While we become workers, you become golfers
The modern day coppers beating on us for the papers

I just give a damn, damn, damn
I just give a damn, damn, damn

I just give a
I just give a
I just give a

I just give a damn
I just give a damn
I just, I just give a
