It's the first steps I've ever taken I decided never to delay I need perfection, I need affection I'll sweep the beats from the hits if that's okay From the mixer and to the fixer We dine the freaks, and the fuckers on the stairway And then a cafe, nine the morning, We celebrate with the suckers on the subway I know something needs to go I know something you should know I know something needs to go I know something you should know My head is burning, my stomach's burning The streets are heaving, look at all the people You found the sad side, I found the good side We're on the outside, looky ippy ay oh It's not the first time, God knows the last time We have a good time, singing 'Ippy ay oh' I know something needs to go I know something you should know I know something needs to go I know something you should know I know something needs to go I know something you should know I know something needs to go I know something you should know
