Cruising down Route 66 Where the guys and gals used to get their kicks In the old days Running low on the people's fuel Riding in something that's really cool On the proud highway Living my days in an old jail cell Somehow life just goes to hell When worlds collide Black is black White is white Wrong is wrong Wrong is right Truth is fiction Truth is lies Strange things happen When worlds collide Strange things happen When worlds collide

I've got hope But you can't eat hope I'm not done Not giving up Not cashing in Too late There's a bail-out coming but it's not for me It's for all those creeps watching tickers on TV There's a bailout coming but it's not for me I'm a big rock star My sales have tanked I still got you Thanks Download this Sounds like shit Keep on blogging 'Til the power goes out Your battery's dead Twist and shout On the radio Those were the days Bring 'em back There's a bailout coming but it's not for you It's for all those creeps hiding what they do There's a bailout coming but it's not for you Bailout coming but it's not for you Got my flat screen Got it repo'd now They picked it up Left a hole in the wall Last Saturday Missed the Raiders game There's a bailout coming but it's not for you There's a bailout coming but it's not for you It's for all those creeps hiding what they do
