Travis Bickle Lyrics

FUCK YEAH, this song gets me pumped. This song is about how Travis Bickle (the badass psychopathic protagonist from the film Taxi Driver) lashes out after he can no longer stomach all the crime and corruption in the streets of New York and goes on a shooting spree against some pimp-"suck on this" and he shoots him in the gut.

Taxi Driver is a phenomenal film (in my opinion it should have won best picture, De Niro-a really gifted actor-should have won best actor, and Scorsese should have won best director but the oscars are bullshit and they gave it to Rocky. Shows what the academy knows, I'm an actor so I do know film and acting).

"You talkin to me."
