Step Out of the Car Lyrics

Step out of the car, intercity action
It's already won, it's already won
Charges bring a swarm,
to rumors of corruption
It's already war, it's already war

And I'm looking for you, so surrender to me
In this storm, It's hard to see
There's a thin
line between,
love and hate,
love and hate.

Step out of the car, acts of desperation
Leave you in a mess,
Leave you in a mess
Americana's glow,
is gone without place to go
It's already war,
It's already war

And I'm looking for you,
so surrender to me
In this storm,
It's hard to see
There's a thin line between,
love and hate, love and hate

Voices winning me instead
Undercover in my head
Oh, voices winning me instead
Triggers pointed at my head, Oh

Step out of the car,
Step out of the car,
Step out of the car,
Step out of the car.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Step Out of the Car lyrics by Boxer Rebellion, The

The band explained the song's meaning to Clash Magazine: "We came up with this idea of a rogue cop being chased by his own department. I'm quite positive no one would ever get that story from the lyrics, but the whole idea spawned off the title. The guy is hearing voices in his head and I suppose feels victimized in life - 'Rumors of corruption. Acts of desperation leave you in mess. Voices winning me instead, undercover in my head.' We never try to write singles, but this song jumped out as one as soon as we'd finished it. It also gives the record some balance."
