Fast In My Car Lyrics
Been through the ringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal
Hollowed out and
Filled up with hate
All we want is
You to give us a break
We’re driving fast in my car
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
No one’s the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No one’s as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won’t try raising the dead
We only see what’s in front of us
We only see straight ahead
Hollowed out and
Filled up with hate
All we want is
You to give us a break
We’re driving fast in my car
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
Get in my car and we’ll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it up
And we get along so smoothly
We’re driving fast in my car
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
We’re driving fast in my car
We’re driving fast in my car
No, we’re not looking for violence
We’re driving fast in my car
And we just want to have fun
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal
Filled up with hate
All we want is
You to give us a break
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
Much as we try to pretend
No one’s as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
We won’t try raising the dead
We only see what’s in front of us
We only see straight ahead
Filled up with hate
All we want is
You to give us a break
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it up
And we get along so smoothly
We’ve got our riot gear on
But we just want to have fun
No, we’re not looking for violence
Tonight we want to have fun
We’re driving fast in my car
No, we’re not looking for violence
We’re driving fast in my car
And we just want to have fun

Simply about putting all the crap behind you and just having fun!
chorus is: "no, i'm not looking for violence, oh"
"callused and cruel"
"we won't try raising the dead"
"hollowed out and..." "all we want is you to give us a break"
no we're not looking for violence **
no we're not looking for violence **
The meaning of this song is moving on and forgetting about everything and having fun.
I think this song is about the changes with the band and having to just move on and get going. Maybe they became "Hollowed out and Filled up with hate" trying to deal with the flack, but now they're just going to drive fast and do what they need and want to do.
The part about wearing riot gear sounds like it's about going to play music and getting crap from the fans.
I always like playing this song loudly while driving. It just makes sense :P
But really, this song is all about learning to let go of your past and never looking back.
