Lyrics

Media Controller

[Verse 1]

Another show with a fucked-up promoter

Kids let in by the media controller

They arrived in a '87 Ford

With a gun rack, case of Bud and stiletto blade

It's the kind of show you end up at

When you get stabbed by the blade big business made

[Chorus]

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

[Verse 2]

The main controller tried to buy me out but I didn't buy it

Some people did and there ain't nothing I could do about it

They arrived in a '87 Ford

With a gun rack, case of Bud and stiletto blade

It's the kind of show you end up at

When you get stabbed by the blade big business made

[Chorus]

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

[Bridge]

The kid unloaded his Glock into the urban blight

Bullets hit the car as we drove into the night

We lived to tell the story and I'm gonna tell you

The State of the Union of the State of California

[Chorus]

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade

I wanna go boot, I wanna go blade
