LYRICS AND RIFF PLACEMENT
[VERSE W/ LEAD] X4
New Jersey bound when sound asleep they'll find you at your most vulnerable
Poll position speak up let out
When down the street the corner boys fuck shit up
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine will you follow me home
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine will you fuck me back home
[PRECHORUS] X2
Let's fire it up haha now
[CHORUS W/ LEAD] X2
Don't let them scare you when you're down on the floor bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon and I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you when you're down on the floor bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
[VERSE W/ LEAD] x4
Speak up let out caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost in the cracks of this street
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine will you follow me home
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine will you fuck me back home
[PRECHORUS] X2
Let's fire it up haha now
[CHORUS W/ LEAD] X2
Don't let them scare you when you're down on the floor bleeding bastard

Don't let them scare you when you're down on the floor bleeding bastard
You'll be getting home real soon
