Mean Machine Lyrics by Sugar Ray

Lemonade and Brownies [Japanese Edition]

1995

[Verse 1]
The only good thing that's creeping in this city
Elvis had a '55, this one is mine
Japanese cars, man, such a pity
AM radio suits me fine

[Chorus]
Mean machine
Mean machine
(My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'")
Mean machine
Mean machine
Brakes good, tires fair
(Burn it!)

[Post-Chorus]
(Can you turn Mark up louder?)

[Verse 2]
Every now and then I drive just to get away
I'm eatin' up the lanes, I gotta find Sugar Ray
Can't stop now, give me all your money
Sometimes I drive slow, sometimes I drive quick

[Chorus]
Mean machine
Mean machine
(My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'")
Mean machine
Mean machine
(My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'")
(Powered up)
(Powered up)

[Bridge]
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
A '68 coupe is all I need
So don't you dare mess with my mean machine

[Verse 3]
Jesus saves, no, he shoots and scores
I'm with stupid, caught my finger in the door
I'm wookin pa nub, like Revenge Of The Nerds
But my ass, it's a play on words

[Chorus]
Mean machine
Mean machine
(My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'")
Mean machine
Mean machine
(My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin'")
(Powered up)
(Powered up)
(Powered up)

[Bridge/Outro]
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
Don't you dare mess with my mean machine
It's long and slick and olive green
A '68 coupe is all I need
So don't you dare mess with my mean machine
Don't fuck with it!
