Girls - Substance Lyrics






it doesn't have to be this way
i know something
to take the corners off
and help you rock and roll
right down the road

and if you want to shape your brain
i know a substance
that gets rid of everything
and helps you rock and roll
out of control

who wants something real
we could have nothing
why not just give up
who wants to try
let go of the wheel
turn your ass over
come on take it
it's a simple ride

i never asked to feel this way
it's something that happened
you can just go with it, man
you can rock and roll
right down the road
if you take it day by day
don't try to fight it
you can do anything, yah
you can rock and roll
out of control

who wants something real
you could have nothing
why not just give up
who wants to try
let go of the wheel
turn your ass over
come on take it
it's a simple ride

guitars over, come on

who wants something real
we could have nothing
why not just give up
who wants to try
let go of the wheel
turn your ass over
come on take it
it's a simple ride

i take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
i take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
i take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
i take the key in my hand and it takes the pain away (hey hey)
i take the key in my hand and it opens up the day
but if i had love i'd throw it all away

  5. p.... ....

    drummer's fills are frickin spot on

  6. D.... N....

    The lyrics are really sad.

  7. t.... ....

    Why couldn't they all keep this exact group of individuals in this band? This setup is just plain perfect.

    t.... ....

    because people left like crazy. his best friend John on guitar had the same drug problems he had but couldn't get clean so easily and didn't wanna get sick and then go on tour to Europe or the U.S. He also didn't wanna keep getting deeper in drugs, too. This was a very druggy band. I know this...I hung out with them once, saw them live twice, at the beginning and at the end. By the end, it was sad how little interaction Chris & J.R had.
