What happens when everything else goes down the tubes?
lyrics
Let's go!
Runnin' outta money
Runnin' outta time
Runnin' low on options
Now the gig's on the line
So let's strip!
Think about it, we could strip
'cause we don't have no jobs
And the economy's a piece of shit.
Sold all my possessions
And I'm gonna take the dive
Now you'll see us workin'
On the other 9 to 5
And we'll strip!
Seriously, Eric, don't strip.
'cause we still don't have no jobs
And music don't pay the rent.
Now my power's gone out
My landlord's up in arms
I guess for the next month
We'll take to livin' in the car
And we'll strip!
Even on Easter we'll strip!
...I'm really sorry, momma,
I'll get them to church in a minute.
I promised that I'd try
To keep it all clean
But now Dan's gone
And bought a new G-string...
But we'll strip!
Yeah, yeah, we'll strip!
Except for Eric,
There's a reason he's behind a drum kit.
Tried to pay it off
By playing punk rock
But now that it's in double time
You know we can't control it!
So we'll strip!
It's finally hit the fan, we'll strip!
Oh crap!
It's a cop!
We're gonna crash!
