"Speed Racer"

Don't give me that sucker fish shit
Your love life ain't that hurting
And you always seemed to get
What you wanted without flirting

You're not the only one who's used to playing dirty
And all I ever wanted from you is to leave me alone

So don't give me that sucker fish shit
'Cause I'm not that strong a swimmer
But I'm not afraid to be moving in a slower river
You're not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer

The very first car in a race around the world
Is somewhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere
But that somewhere isn't me

So don't give me that sucker fish shit
'Cause I'm not getting younger
And I'm not a floatable to keep you from going under
And you're not the only one who used to watch Speed Racer

The very first car in a race around the world
Is somewhere in the middle of a race around the circle
And the very first car in a race around the world
Has got to wipe out somewhere
But that somewhere isn't me
