Joyrider

This is a rewrite of a song I wrote a while back, posted a version with original lyrics in Members recordings which is a bit off the wall, will post another version with these lyrics and a slightly different arrangement. A Joyrider is the UK equivalent of a carjacker winkthumb:


JOYRIDER

You're a Joyrider
You love playing games
You're a Joyrider
Drive the Police insane

You're every car owners nightmare
A fool behind the wheel
If you can't buy the things you want
You just go out and steal

You're a Joyrider
A star of CCTV
You're a Joyrider
Scourge of society

Wearing clothes all lifted
From a high street store
And your eyes glazed over
By the drugs that you just scored

You're a Joyrider
Makes you feel alive
You think you're Kimi Raikonen
But you can't even drive

Another college dropout
You just don't want to work
You're quite happy stealing cars
And acting like a jerk

You're a Joyrider
A real demon seed
You're a Joyrider
Get your kicks from speed

Break the steering lock
And commit your crime
Drive the road to hell
While you still have the time

You're a Joyrider
A pretty hateful guy
If you keep driving like you do
You're surely gonna die

What made you want to steal cars
Look how you've gone astray
Now you're stuck on the road to hell
And today is judgement day

Your a Joyrider
But your race is run
The Devil wants a soul today
And you're the chosen one

You don't stop laughing when you grow old; you grow old when you stop laughing.

It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!
