Put Your Foot On the Pedal
No ember that you've struck...
Could heat up a fire burning out.
And no engine that is cool...
Should keep ready,
For a driver who ain't behind the wheel.
Or thinking that a boost,
Is not needed to get started.
You gotta give up,
Mo' steam.
And get up offa that...
Low self-esteem.
You gotta give up,
Mo' steam.
And get up offa that,
Low self-esteem.
Put your foot on the pedal,
And steer me to all your needs.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put the pedal to the metal.
Put your foot on the pedal,
And steer me to all your needs.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put the pedal to the metal.
Put that pedal to the metal,
If you wanna get with me.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put that pedal to the metal.
Put your foot on the pedal,
And steer me to all your needs.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put the pedal to the metal.
No ember that you've struck...
Could heat up a fire burning out.
And no engine that is cool...
Should keep ready,
For a driver who ain't behind the wheel.
Or thinking that a boost,
Is not needed to get started.
You gotta give up,
Mo' steam.
And get up offa that...
Low self-esteem.
You gotta give up,
Mo' steam.
And get up offa that,
Low self-esteem.
Put that pedal to the metal,
If you wanna get with me.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put that pedal to the metal.
Put that pedal to the metal,
If you wanna get with me.
Put your foot on the pedal.
Put that pedal to the metal.
If you wanna get with me.
You gotta pedal to the metal.
Put your foot on the pedal.

Rebels
Honey dont walk out Im too drunk to follow
You know you wont feel this way tomorrow
Well, maybe Im a little rough around the edges
Inside a little hollow
I get faced with some things sometimes
That are so hard to swallow
Hey hey hey!
I was born a rebel
Down in dixie on a sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel
Well she picked me up in the morning
And she paid all my tickets
Yeah she screamed in the car
And threw me out in th e thicket
Well I never wouldve dreamed
That her heart was so wicked
Oh but I keep coming back
Cause its so hard to kick it
I was born a rebel
Down in dixie on a sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And on e foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel
Even before my fathers fathers
They called us all rebels
Burned our cornfields
And left our cities leveled
I can still see the eyes
Of those blue bellied devils
When Im walkin g round tonight
Through the concrete and metal
I was born a rebel
Down in dixie on a sunday morning
Yeah with one foot in the grave
And one foot on the pedal
I was born a rebel

Under The Gun
Lookin for a thrill, youll get it my way
Lets hit the highway, Ill take you down
Shoot out in the night, lookin for action
The main attraction is back in town
Press the pedal to the metal, on your mark, set, go
Chorus:
Under the gun - do your living on the trigger
Under the gun - walk on the wire
Under the gun - when the stakes are gettin bigger
Under the gun - take aim and fire
I dont need a reason to get crazy, Im gettin crazy and thats enough
Show me somethin strange, Ill make it stranger
I swear that danger runs in my blood
Press the pedal to the metal, on your mark, set, go
When the dust begins to settle, everybodys gonna know
Chorus - (fire, fire) fire (fire)
Well theres no speed limit where Im comin from
Lets hit the highway doin 69!!
Press the pedal to the metal, on your mark, set, go
When the dust begins to settle, everybodys gonna know
Chorus
Under the gun, under the gun, under the gun, under the gun
Cmon boys (fire) I cant hear you - (fire) fire!

One Foot Out The Door
I grabbed that telephone
I thought we were alone
Telling me theres company
Your husbands comin home
Ive been thinking about this saturday night with you
Ive been thinking about it all week long
And now Im gonna lose it cause that
Son-of-a-bitch got me singin that same old song
Got one foot out the door
Tryin to hit the road
Aint no match for your mean old man
I think its time to roll
Got one foot out the door
Got one foot out the door
Think Im gonna fight him?
Dont you let him put down
Put that to the floor
Put the pedal to the metal
And you beat it out of town
No comin back, back for more

Pedal Pushin' (Children)
Mom’s car has three foot pedals.
I think I’m gonna ask her -
Since daddy’s car has only two,
does her car pedal faster?
Our economy is on the move and we are creating thousands of new jobs, but we need to keep our foot on the gas pedal.

Guilty
Just tried to have fun raised hell and then some
I'm a dirt-talkin', beer drinkin', woman chasin' minister's son
Slap on the make-up and blast out the music
Wake up the neighbors with a roar like a teenage heavy metal elephant gun
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
I like driving too fast
Love going too far
It seems the law's on my ass every time I stick it out of the door
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
Bad boy on a summer night
When the heat makes me mean and I wanna fight
With my pedal to the metal
And I do what I want to do
Bad girls make me feel all right
When it's hot and they start screaming in the night
Golly gee, it's wrong to be so guilty
I'm guilty
Guilty
I'm guilty
My conscience is on vacation in acute degeneration
Willpower has sunk to all-time low
If you call that guilty well I guess I am
I'm guilty
I'm guilty
If you call that guilty then that's what I am
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty
Well I'm guilty
Yeah I'm guilty
I don't care
I'm guilty
I think I've been framed anyway
They said I'm guilty
I'm guilty
They're guilty and everyone is guilty

Three Boys On their Bicycles
Along the quiet back streets pedalling up and down
Three boys on their bicycles in the old country town
The prime years of their lives a decade ahead
The future belong to the youth as has often been said
The magpie on a street tree is fluting his song
As three boys on their bicycles pedal along
Chatting of football stars and the fortunes of their favourite football team
To be great football players they do often daydream
With their football boots slung across the handlebars to the football oval bound
'Tis every young players dream for to be best on ground
At the famed M C G on Grand Final Day
Though that for them over a decade away
Full of young ambition and dreams of renown
They pedal along the back streets of the town.

Nowhere Fast
Its getting cold, its getting dark, the nights are longer every day
The air is heavy and the clouds will never burn away
And weve been waitin here so long that weve forgotten what its like
To turn into the fire, lookin straight into the, straight into the light
Bridge:
Your heart is tryin to rock but it can barely beat at all
Your soul is tryin to run but all your body does is crawl
You dont need any signal, you dont need any sign
Nothins gonna stop you once you cross over the line
I wanna tear it all apart and take the clothes right off your back
Were tearin down the highway and were breakin away, breakin away
Breakin away, were breakin away from the pack
Were breakin away from the pack
And if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And even if you dont have anywhere to go
You go down on the pedal and youre ready to roll
And your speed is all youll ever need, all youll ever need to know
Chorus:
You and me were goin nowhere slowly and we gotta get away from the past
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Everybodys goin nowhere slowly
Theyre only fighting for the chance to be last
Theres nothin wrong with goin nowhere baby
But we should be goin nowhere fast
Its so much better goin nowhere fast
You shouldnt always see your world so clearly
You shouldnt always know your place so well
And all were doin here is hangin around
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here is gonna be hell
And goin anywhere has gotta be heaven, cos stayin here has gotta be hell
Im getting lost, Im getting found, Im getting born again each day
Were dyin on the vine until we finally, til we finally get away
The boundaries of this town are closin in just like a noose
The futures gonna rust if we dont put it to some, put it to some use
(bridge)

Lucky Day Bad Advice
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string
But youll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But its not just a day again until you touched it
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
Theres money in the cabaret business
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
Theres money in the cabaret business
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string
But youll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But its not just a day again until you touched it
Dont put that song in your album
You dont need no sax in the band
Dont put that song in your album
You dont need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
Theres money in the cabaret business
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string
But youll make this day again, this lucky, lucky day again
But its not just a day again until you touched it
Wake up you gotta make a change
You gotta dress like one of the levellers
Dont put that song in your album
You dont need no sax in the band
Get yourself a pedal-steel player
Theres money in the cabaret business
You cant spend all your life
Sittin on a cloud playing a twelve-string

Love This Life
Seal my fate
I get your tongue in the mail
No one is wise
Until they see how it lies
Love this life
Dont wait till the next one comes
Pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
And maybe the day will come
When youll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life
Gonna love this life
And so they threw you in jail
Whatever youve done
It was a million to tone
And dont you just love this life
When its holding you down
Pedal my faith
The wheels are still turning round, turn round
So maybe the day will come
When youll never have to feel no pain
After all my complaining
Gonna love this life
Gonna love this life
Theres something that you can do
Even if you think that I hate you
Stop your complaining leave me defenseless
When you love this life
Gotta love this life
Love this life though youll never know why
Gonna love this life
Gonna love

Metal Magic
When they say dont look back
Do what they say
You gotta look ahead
To a better day
In a world of metal magic
You need a break
Go forth
Take a chance
Make no mistake
Metal magic
Metal magic
Metal magic
Metal magic
They say you cant go back
Oh so true
When youre a rocker baby
You gotta pay your dues
In a world of metal magic
Magic never ends
Sometimes you lose
And sometimes you win
Metal magic
Metal magic
Metal magic
Metal magic
Lost in the metal magic
It never ends
Sometimes you lose
Sometimes you win
Metal magic
Metal magic

That Morning Walk....
in locomotion ideas unravel
as though
when the feet pedal something
in the forehead pops out
the two walk hand in hand
like friends
the mind on foot towards
an enlightened destination
on a boat of darkness
the sails move out to the open
meeting the light
awed we prostrate on the grounds
of our traditions
we kneel and rise and with open arms
embrace the newness of
each thing each idea like flashes of
the northern lights
in technicolor....

Full Faith and Credit
Don’t you find it rather odd
that Ben Bernanke acts like God?
When banksters come in need of cash
Ex Nihilo he creates a $ta$h.
No mere bald bureaucrat is he!
His is a Divine decree.
With bold keystrokes, Almighty Ben
takes from me to give to them.
There are examples from the past
when Noble twits debased the cash.
They mixed base metals with the Gold-
But Ben makes dollars you can fold.
Not backed by silver nor by Gold
That’s “Faith” and “Credit” that you hold.
It cramps his style to ask for metal
When Ben goes and floors the pedal..
By Keystrokes and the printing press
Ben claims he can forgive our debts.
“If China will no longer loan-
“To hell with them, I’ll print my own.”

Speedway
(words & music by glazer - schlaks)
Take a ton of bolt and steel
A whole lotta sweat, a set of wheels
On the speedway
The flag is down, pistons pound
Plenty of engines ripping around .. on the speedway
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin a dance
Speedways comin and nows your chance
On the speedway, on the speedway, on the speedway
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the speedway
On the speedway
Take a spin, hit the brakes
A young little girl .. shivers and shakes
On the speedway
Clear the way, comin through
Kiss from your baby just pushin you
On the speedway
Go for the money and lead the pack
Push the throttle and burn the track
Curl and swirl like you doin a dance
Speedways comin and nows your chance
On the speedway, on the speedway, on the speedway
Stoke that pedal down to the floor
As much as you give, crowd wants more
More, more, more, more, more on the speedway
On the speedway
On the speedway, on the speedway, on the speedway
On the speedway, on the speedway, on the speedway
On the speedway, on the speedway
