Lyrics

DRIVE BY

ITS MID AFTERNOON
SO FAR SO GOOD
THIS CITIES GETTING BIGGER
THE POLICE CAN'T DO ALL THAT THEY SHOULD

WE'RE WALKING ON EGG SHELLS
HOW FAR OFF COURSE CAN WE STEER
THE BUBBLE IS BURSTING
ITS CALLED LIVING WITH FEAR

HOLES SHOT THROUGH A WINDSHIELD
PEPPER THE SIDE OF A HOUSE
SOMEONE WENT DOWN OUT THERE
SOMEONE'S LIGHTS WERE PUT OUT

THERE'S ONE NIGHT IN JAIL
LESS THAN FOR STEALING A CAR
WITHOUT THE RIGHT EVIDENCE
THEY CAN'T TAKE IT VERY FAR

CHORUS:

DRIVE BY
THEY JUST DRIVE BY
TODAY WAS THE DAY
BUT NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY
NOW HE'S ON LIFE SUPPORT
AND SO IS HIS SISTER
THEIR MOTHER’S BESIDE HERSELF
FOR ALL THIS SHE BLAMES HERSELF
AND THEY JUST DRIVE BY

SOLO:

BRIDGE:

YOU BLINK YOUR EYE
AND JUST LIKE THAT IT’S OVER
SHOTS RING OUT IN THE NIGHT
THERE'S NOWHERE TO SEEK COVER
ABRUPT ENDINGS ARE PLANNED
THESE SHOOTINGS HAVE GOTTEN WAY TO OUT OF HAND

IT FALLS INTO PERSPECTIVE
WHEN YOU CONSIDER IT
THEY CAN'T NAIL THE RIGHT GUY
IF THE GLOVE DOESN'T FIT

AN EYE FOR AN EYE
BUT THIS ONE WILL WALK
THOSE WHO MIGHT KNOW BETTER
HAVE BEEN PAID NOT TO TALK

CHORUS:

DRIVE BY
THEY JUST DRIVE BY
TODAY WAS THE DAY
BUT NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN WHY
NOW HE'S GONE FOREVER
AND SO IS HIS SISTER
THEIR MOTHER’S BESIDE HERSELF
FOR ALL THIS SHE BLAMES HERSELF
AND THEY JUST DRIVE BY (DRIVE BY)
DRIVE BY (DRIVE BY)
THEY JUST DRIVE BY (DRIVE BY)
DRIVE BY (DRIVE BY)
