about

ska never went away, but if it did, we'd be bringing it back.

lyrics

I got a new car, but it’s only new to me
Stains on the dashboard and holes in the back seat
But it takes me where I wanna go, even when it’s nowhere
Driving fast, the lights are out, I got the wind in my hair, and
I got a new car, but it’s only new to me

Go to work then I get back
Runnin’ on fumes with a full tank of gas and
Painkiller like a Tic Tac
Caught in the lane but still gettin’ passed
Toyota Corolla that smells like Ebola
And everything’s foggy, My cigarette’s soggy
The radio blasting, my GPS askin’ me
Where I am going, ain’t that the fucking question

I got a new car, but it’s only new to me
Stains on the dashboard and holes in the back seat
But it takes me where I wanna go, even when it’s nowhere
I’m driving fast, the lights are out, I got the wind in my hair, and
I got a new car, but it’s only new to me

My whole life’s a hand me down
Holes in my jeans but not in a cool way
Inside out then upside down
Pop some pills then head to the freeway
Dollar bin movies, brown stains on my koozie
The days keep repeating, my hair keeps receding
Am I just a loser, a chronic abuser?
I can’t… Fuck my life!

I got a new car, but it’s only new to me
Stains on the dashboard and holes in the back seat
But it takes me where I wanna go, even when it’s nowhere
Driving fast, the lights are out, I got the wind in my hair, and
I got a new car, but it’s only new to me
(Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!)

Walmart Bugatti, six bottles in shotty
Of empty Bacardi I stole from a party
But if I keep drinking the lights will stop blinking
Check engine is on but no one checks on me

I got a new car, but it’s only new to me
Stains on the dashboard and holes in the front seat
Takes me where I wanna go, even when it’s nowhere
To the mall or off a bridge, fuck this shit I don’t care!
But, I got a new car, but its only new to
I got a new car, but its only new to
I got a new car, but its only new to
So screw your mom and screw you
Because it’s only new to me
To me!
