Lyrics

Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City and run, run, run

Wanna hang with girls and shoot my gun

Wanna die in Beat City and run, run, run

Wanna hang with girls and shoot my gun

Wanna catch the rays off the sun

Wanna drink and drive and have some fun

Wanna die in Beat City and go, go, go

You can't come with me 'cause you're just too slow

Inject the stars, make them glow

Put up a fight, put on a show

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City and run, run, run

Wanna hang with girls and shoot my gun

Wanna catch the rays off the sun

Wanna drink and drive and have some fun

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City

Wanna die in Beat City
