Lightspeed Champion - Tell Me What It’s Worth Lyrics
Crack open the good towns
On a street corner blessed in rhymes
but you fell between the lines.
They all laugh, become a joke
Have a crazy baby let’s all hope
for no holes, crunching drums
I’ve got the sweets sugar but that’s all.
Tell me what it’s worth
Tell me what it’s worth
So tell us that we’re doing everything wrong
Negros turn a blueish-grey when they’re dead
That’s funny ‘cos ive just turned bright red
RED RED RED
Kill, kill, kill and everything starts to suck
Drownin all your sins boy gets us bad luck
Or the fact that your riffs are full of shit
I’ve got the sweets sugar but that’s it.
Tell me what it’s worth
Tell me what it’s worth
woah woah
Can you ___________
Don’t stop till the red runs out
Till the joy pours out of your mouth
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
woah woah
