I'm going down to Mesa Town,
I'm gonna see what the fuck is going down
Don't know all you people here, so I'm gonna have another beer
1, 2, 3, 4 Billy's headin' out the door
He's going down to Mesa Town and lookin' to score
Billy don't know you people there
So if you got beef I got his back so don't you fuckin' dare
You stupid ass pigs come walkin' my way

You're telling me to live right every day
Oh yeah, well I don't know you people there
So if you've got beef they got my back so don't you fuckin' dare
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
I said whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
I said whoa whoa yeah yeah yeah
Well I had a girl she left me too, she left me for some other dude
Well, I really wish her well, she made my life a living hell
Going down to Mesa Town to see the sites,
and get in ?ghts with people downtown
Well there ain't nothin' going down here yeah
So me and Bill will sit and chill and have ourselves a beer
Well I don't know you, and you don't know me
If you're from mountain view let's come and see
Well I've got my boys, well don't you know,
We're gonna come kick down your fuckin' door
Yeah!
Well I'm going down to Mesa Town,
I'm gonna see what the fuck is going down
Don't know all you people here so I'm gonna have another beer
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
I said whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah
Whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah yeah

I said whoa whoa yeah yeah
Phase three!
