Crash and Burn Lyrics

[Chorus]
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight

[Verse 1: Tim Armstrong]
Rosie's a Puerto Rican porn star
That girl knows how to get down
Yeah, making money, making movies, laying horizontal
Dropping all her clothes on the ground
Yeah now, Rosie said, "Wake up Tim, it's midnight
It's a city out there to go ride"
Like two vampires, we ride through the cities
[?] backsides
I don't give a fuck, I never did, I never would
Never could back down, not one time
So I'm gonna keep making music, making records
Keep on telling people what's on my mind
I'm the same kid that I ever was
Even though I got platinum plaques on my walls
Yeah, I dress in black and it's a fact
I don't give a goddamn at all

[Chorus]
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
[Verse 2: Skinhead Rob]
I think back to better days, circa "License to Ill"
Before I ever held something, fell in love with them bills
Back before I had to ride and go hunt for a kill
Way before I tried to rhyme and go hunt for a deal
It's real, survives in gunplay and throwin' from the shoulders
Wrong way down a one-way and still avoid the rollers
Still I beat a motherfucker like its going out of style
Tried to cheat me out my cash so I beat it out his child
I'm wild, my pupils dilated same as my peoples
I'm the only never present to build you a church steeple
Speak evil to the world, teach all the boys and girls
That they can't trust no one, show 'em fuck what you heard
'Cause I mind my own business and I do my own dirt
And I make my own money 'cause I got my own work
I swear, somebody better send a cease and desist
Before I squeeze it to my fist and they cease to exist

[Chorus]
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight

[Verse 3: Rakaa]
Our party was a bash for as long as it lasted
Some turn cash, like hash, to ashes
Some dash but hot slugs run the fastest
Who we fought to eat unless we fasting
But thugs are not like most actors casted
Thugs might blast and smash your casket
America's worst fear, white, brown and black kids together
Fed up, strapped up and tatted
Bald heads, Jheri curls, classic perms
Various sets that will flash off Sherm'
Toast to a new day having its turn
Tequila, the bottle's like a bath for worms
The paranoid, that's way past concerned
I hope the country and the world get past this term
This is show and tell, so the class will learn
Party go until the cops come and crash and burn
[Chorus]
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
Crash and burn, crash and burn, crash and burn tonight
We're gonna keep on partying 'til the wake of daylight
