Lyrics

Motoroller Scalatron

What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on

What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on

It's built on, built on bluff
Built on bluff, built on trust
It's built on, built on bluff
Built on bluff, built on trust

It's built on, built on bluff
Built on bluff, built on trust
It's built on, built on bluff
Built on bluff, built on trust

What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on
What's society built on

It's built on, built on words
Built on words, built on work
It's built on, built on words
Built on words, built on work

It's built on, built on words
Built on words, built on work
It's built on, built on words
Built on words, built on work

Responsible for what I say
Responsible for what I hush
Responsible for what I say
Responsible for what I hush

Responsible for what I say
Responsible for what I hush
Responsible for what I say
Responsible for what I hush
