Foot on the pedal - never ever false metal
 Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
 My job's ain't a job - it's a damn good time
 City to city - I'm running my rhymes
 On location - touring around the nation
 Beastie Boys always on vacation
 Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable
 I do what I do best because I'm illing and able
 Ain't no faking - your money I'm taking
 Going coast to coast - watching all the girlies shaking
 While you're at the job working nine to five
 The Beastie Boys at the Garden - cold kickin' it live

 (bridge) No sleep 'til -

 Another place - another train
 Another bottle in the brain
 Another girl - another fight
 Another drive all night
 Our manager's crazy - he always smokes dust
 He's got his own room at the back of the bus
 Tour around the world - you rock around the clock
 Plane to hotel - girls on the jock
 We're thrashing hotels like it's going out of style
 Getting paid along the way cause it's worth your while
 Four on the floor - Adrock's out the door
 M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore
 We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack
 With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back

 (repeat bridge)

 (repeat chorus)

 Ain't seen the light since we started this band
 M.C.A. - get on the mic my man
 Born and bred Brooklyn - U.S.A.
 They all me Adam Yauch - but I'm M.C.A.
 Like a lemon to a lime - a lime to a lemon
 I sip the def ale with all the fly women
 Got limos, arena, TV shows
 Autograph pictures and classy hos
 Step off homes - get out of my way
 Taxing little girlies form here to L.A.
 Waking up but I get to sleep
 Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week

 (repeat chorus
