“Route Runners”

Walkin’ in the ditch, just like a little bitch,
route runners, route runners.
They were gonna go to jail, their life’s a livin’ hell,
route runners, route runners.

But Pete stepped up, and showed some class.
Mama pointed her finger,
“son, I’m gonna kick your freakin’ ass!”

They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
Never Seen Someone Go Down in Flames,
Without Even Knowing Their Name.

Dealin’ out the weed, there’s no guarantees,
route runners, route runners.
They think they’ll get ahead, but sleep on concrete beds,
route runners, route runners.

But Pete would lead, them to the promise land.
Until the runners started runnin’,
“they screwed up the freakin’ plan!”

They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
(route runners)
Never Seen Someone Go Down in Flames,
Without Even Knowing Their Name.

Solo:

Crawlin’ in the sewer,
smellin’ like cow manure,
they’re skimpers never do’ers,
not the winners always losers.
But low and behold, look who’s here,
out of the darkness, and into the clear,
a beacon of light, bright blinding all fear,
yeah Peter’s gonna save their year.

They Were Route Runners.
Just Like Dumb and Dumber.
They Were Route Runners.
They Were Hidin’ Out Just a Wastin’ Time,
Until Pete Opened Up Their Minds.

They finally understood, they’re up to nothin’ good,
route runners, route runners.
Pete held up their hands, taught them to be a man,
route runners, route runners.

Now they thank Pete today, tell him he’s their friend.
There’s only one thing left,
“and that’s to take a freakin’ stand!”

They Were Route Runners.
Now They're One in Numbers.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Now They're One in Numbers.
(route runners)
They Were Route Runners.
Now They're One in Numbers.
(route runners)
Always Be the One Who Lights the Flame,
On the World We Call Our Stage.
“Route Runners”
