[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a story
That you'll never forget
'Bout making something outta nothing
Try to show some respect
I made it to the top
Of the Empire State
And put the bald to the win town
For those who relate

[Pre-Chorus]
New kid on the block
I'm not, "so to speak"
But I'll punch you in your mouth
Your head, and your beak
You can tell your friends
Your moms, and your pops
How I came from the bottom
And made it to the top

[Chorus]
So, out of my way
I'm comin' like a freight train
Right on through ya
And if you thumb a ride, I'll take you home
One million miles an hour
Of superficial power
We got nothin' to lose but lots to give
Don't kill yourself to live

[Refrain]
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live

[Verse 2]
Lookin' out for you
Like the CIA
I'll try to get you off for nothin':
The American way
Run you outta Dodge
Like a shot in the dark
Just when you thought that you were playin'
With the boys in the park

[Pre-Chorus]
Keepin' you in check
Don't act so surprised
When you wake up in the morning
With me in your eyes
Makin' sure you don't
End up like the rest
Gotta give it your best
Through the worst, if not the last
[Chorus]
So, out of my way
I'm comin' like a freight train
Right on through ya
And if you thumb a ride, I'll take you home
One million miles an hour
Of superficial power
We got nothin' to lose but lots to give
Don't kill yourself to live

[Refrain]
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Out of my way
I'm comin' like a freight train
Right on through ya
And if you thumb a ride, I'll take you home
One million miles an hour
Of superficial power
We got nothin' to lose but lots to give
Don't kill yourself to live
[Outro]
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live
Don't kill yourself to live
