Driving the Wrong Way Down a One-Way Street
Guest artist: Yuergen Renner - rap vocal, harmonica
He’s hell on wheels, bad to the bone,
Numerous sins for which to atone
If you see him coming, better leave him alone
Don’t try to call him on the telephone
‘Cause he’s…
CHORUS:
Driving the wrong way down a one-way street,
Striking fear into the people I meet
Stay out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat
‘Cause I’m driving the wrong way down a one-way street
Born on the wrong side of the subway tracks,
Occasionally prone to panic attacks
Plenty of cash to buy what he lacks
Carries it around in brown paper sacks
Ten times smarter than the average bear
If he sells you a used car, “buyer beware”
If the engine exploded, he wouldn’t care
Be careful when you drive it anywhere
If he should screw up, ignore his mistakes
Don’t say a word about the trouble he makes
If you see him driving toward you, better slam on the brakes
Stay out of his way, whatever it takes
And now my tale of woe is complete
About the man who drives the wrong way down a one-way street
Told you once, don’t make me repeat
What I said about the man, who drives the wrong way down a one-way street

Who's Sorry Now?
What are those voices screaming so loudly in your head?
She should have known better, than to say those things she said
Who’s sorry, now?
Said you were only half a man, said it in a tone you could never forget
Said she was sorry the two of you ever met
Well, who’s sorry, now?
You really tried your best
No reason to doubt
Did all you could to make it work
It just didn’t work out
Did not have to hurt you
Did not have to shout
It was all her fault, not yours, what have you got
To feel guilty about?
But the voices scream louder, until you realize what you have done
And pull the trigger one more time, of the very same gun
And who’s sorry, now?
Who’s sorry, now?
Who’s sorry, now?
