Mashin' On The Motorway Lyrics
<i>He just wanted us to call him 'Captain Da'
He said you can call me 'Da-Da'
whatever that meant</i>
Out of gas and still burnin'
Hey there...
Who me?
Just a friendly neighbourhood speed demon
I'm out to Nascar in a fast car to the last car
'Til there ain't no cars left
Must be 'cos I go by
With enough dust flyin around
To make you cry it back down
and choke half near to death
Oh I'm gonna go on your left
<i>Sorry 'bout that</i>
See like you a push the bucket
I like to burn big
Like you I gotta cut all the bullshit outta my life to live
So I tell 'em move over
This road aint big enough for ya
I'm flyin like Knightrider they tryin' to keep up
with they grandma outside on the side
Maybe their steel belted radials expired
Maybe they're tired
Maybe their odometer needs to be rewired
Or something
<i>Fucking asshole!
My bad</i>
Can you believe some of the drivers they let out here on the road?
See, when the whole things slows down
You're gonna find that clown who's gonna give you a scene
With the chance to take it... now!
<i>- Damn, what the fuck are you doing, motherfucking asshole?</i>
Sorry!
<i>- Get off my lane you fucking fuck!</i>
I got yours right here buddy
Bite Me
<i>- Dude, What the fuck is your problem?</i>
<i>- *something foreign*</i>
Well get out the way then!
<i>- Move!</i>
I'll catch you on the rebound
<i>- Goddamn motherfucker, what the hell are you doin'?</i>
So much hostility
Y'all just keep checkin your rear windows
Maybe you'll catch me passin'
Mashed!
Cut em-cut-cut em-cut em-cut em-cut-cut em off
Cut em-cut-cut em-cut em-cut-cut-cut-cut em off
Cut em-cut-cut em-cut em-cut em-cut-cut em off
Cut-cut-cut-cut-cut em-cut em-cut em off and crash
He said you can call me 'Da-Da'
whatever that meant</i>
Who me?
Just a friendly neighbourhood speed demon
'Til there ain't no cars left
Must be 'cos I go by
With enough dust flyin around
To make you cry it back down
and choke half near to death
Oh I'm gonna go on your left
I like to burn big
Like you I gotta cut all the bullshit outta my life to live
So I tell 'em move over
This road aint big enough for ya
I'm flyin like Knightrider they tryin' to keep up
with they grandma outside on the side

To sum up this song id like to use the popular term of "live fast, die young!"
This song is about feeling the need to go faster and push harder regardless of the outcomes "out of gas and still burnin'"
This guy builds a rep as “Just a friendly neighborhood speed demon"
He goes on to explain his lifestyle in a friendly tone as if what he is doing is correct and just
"See, when the whole things slows down You're gonna find that clown who's gonna give you a scene With the chance to take it... now! "
I'm unsure about this part because the whole slowing down theme makes me think that the clown (Clean living person) is going to make a big deal about the high speed life and give him an alternative lifestyle to take.
BUT...."with the chance to take it ...now!"
There is also the negative view of this where he is given the option of highway lanes....fast...or slower. And he does not want to take the time to slow down because deep inside he is suppressing the pain he has felt from the duration of going up or down the road of the fast lane. In his head he says that it is too late and nobody can help me and I don’t want to take this help..... so "with the chance to take it...now!" it would seem that he has kept on with his life style and take it can mean many things in regards to drugs or getting his kicks in life by any means necessary.
Finally it could also be as simple as a guy who gets into a car crash. He went to fast and did not appreciate the simple things in life.
Sorry for the scatterbrained format. Let me know what you think of this please.
Crackin' tune, always puts a smile on my face!
