State the Odds - Living in the 989 Lyrics

These Chuck T's have seen the streets in the middle of the night where the battlegrounds meet
These leathered guitar hands have lived their lives as a common man
I don't expect you to relate, I'm not even sure if you could
But I know this much is true
I wouldn't change even if I could
So let's all go out tonight, let's all get something going on
I don't even care if it's right, we're too far gone so just sing along

I don't need money with the friends I have I just need them and this ice cold can
We'll do shots till the break of day and stop at John Boy's along the way
Through this factory's smoke this whole damn town's a joke
And that's all I need, for this celebrity skin of mine, living in the 989

Through the day time we lay dormant we're all too dead to move
We spend our time in the day light hours as passive aggressive dudes
But when the evening rolls around we all know what that means
We'll strip off those old work clothes and slap on our rolled up jeans
We'll hit the bar just as fast as we can to catch up with our friends
This is the life we choose, no riches could change that

I don't need money with the friends I have I just need them and this ice cold can
We'll do shots till the break of day and stop at John Boy's along the way
Through this factory's smoke this whole damn town's a joke
And that's all I need, for this celebrity skin of mine, living in the 989

I can see the sunrise, I can feel the sun rising over the streets
I can see the sunrise, I can feel the sunrise

I don't need money with the friends I have I just need them and this ice cold can
We'll do shots till the break of day and stop at John Boy's along the way
Through this factory's smoke this whole damn town's a joke
And that's all I need, for this celebrity skin of mine, living in the 989
