lyrics

I brake for no one
I can make time for regret in the rerun
I could be a man of my own invention
I could be destroyed by good intention

You used to be true
But what good is that to the ones who need you
What you are now is a consolation
What you are now is an abdication
Don’t you forget it
Time will supply the rose if you let it
Somebody’s dead and you look suspicious
The daughter of Adolph sleeps with the fishes

If you want to
I will drive you

I know I’m better
True to the cause, strict to the letter
We made a deal and you want to break it
I speak the truth but you want to fake it
I run you over
I’m on the move but you’re getting slower
All of the good that you did has been undone
I am the law and I brake for no one

If you want to
I will drive you
That’s the least you’re owed
But you don’t get to drive the car
Or lie about the man you are
You ought to know the road

I brake for no one
