Skip Shackle Law

Step out smartly, slam the door.
Engine start, ride up the hill.
Warp those rules, skip shackle law.

Leave wine bottles, peanuts on the floor
Throttle wide, speed for the thrill.
Step out smartly, slam the door.

Escape high tone, harsh words ignore
Wind rush in hair, time to kill.
Warp those rules, skip shackle law.

No job, both status and penny poor.
Lean hard on bend, reckless skill.
Step out smartly, slam the door.

Spirit is free, don’t ask for more.
Keep bike roaring, don’t be still.
Step out smartly, slam the door
Warp those rules, skip shackle law.
