But you know there's better things in life.
You want it, we got it.
Come to us, we got it figured out,
You solution our medication.
You want it, we got it.
Do you know we've done this thing before?
Tonight we're gonna wake the dead,
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Each time we get better than the last,
Bottoms up, we'll burn this place down.
And you know the hour is happy.
