Need Gas for the Generator Again

+ Show full styles

[Verse] Gas tank dry, dreams on fumes, Cranking out sparks in the blackened rooms. Generator wheezin', coughin', chokin', My wallet’s so thin, it's barely spoken. Lights flicker, strobe in the haze, Neighbors peepin' like they caught a craze. Electric buzz, but my pockets mute, I’m the outlaw hustlin' a substitute. [Chorus] Need gas for the generator again, Life on empty, runnin' on when. Flames in the tank, but the fire won’t spin, Need gas for the generator again. [Verse 2] Gas can rusted, but I keep it close, It's a lifeline tethered to a ghost. Power’s a beast that I can't appease, Roaring in the dark like a broken breeze. Static on the dial, news ain't sweet, Another price hike, I can't compete. The meter ticks, it’s a countdown clock, Fuel’s a ransom and I’m chained to the block. [Bridge] Generator hummin', heartbeat grim, Pulse of survival, wearin' thin. Echoes of sparks, they light my sin, But I need gas for the generator again.
