[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, driving drums, bass enters] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar chords] Steam rising from the cracked asphalt Fayetteville streets in a dead-end halt Barney standing by, ready for the drop Once the pressure starts, we're never gonna stop [Chorus] [open ringing guitar chords, crash cymbals] Syruper Joe! Syruper Joe! Barney at the gate, Barney's at the gate! Viscous glue for a city in a state of grace Syruper Joe! Too fast for the trap, Fayetteville survives on a sugary slap [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar chords] A golden stream from the palm of the hand Thick enough to save this jagged piece of land Gabs is clicking claws in the downtown haze Ad is selling us lies in a neon blaze [Chorus] [open ringing guitar chords] Syruper Joe! Syruper Joe! Barney at the gate, Barney's at the gate! Viscous glue for a city in a state of grace Syruper Joe! Too fast for the trap, Fayetteville survives on a sugary slap [Verse 3] [palm-muted guitar chords] Gabs decided to step in with a shell-like armor Ad is the billboard, the digital charmer Trapping the citizens in a cycle of greed But they haven't seen the thickness of the deed [Bridge] [half-time feel, melodic lead guitar riff] Joe and the awesome one making the rounds Covering the crab on the hollowed-out crowns Turning the ads into sticky gray waste Leaving a sweet dark powerful taste [Chorus] [full energy, driving punk beat] Syruper Joe! Syruper Joe! Barney at the gate, Barney's at the gate! Viscous glue for a city in a state of grace Syruper Joe! Too fast for the trap, Fayetteville survives on a sugary slap [Guitar Solo] [technical lead guitar solo with rapid alternate picking and bends] [Verse 4] [palm-muted guitar chords] Gabs is stuck in the alleyway crime Ad is out of ideas, out of his time The town is quiet as the sun starts to set Best defense that we've ever seen yet [Outro] [open ringing guitar chords] Sticky and sweet, but a wall you can't break That's the kind of hero that Fayetteville should take Syruper Joe! Syruper Joe! Barney at the gate, Barney's at the gate! Viscous glue for a city in a state of grace SyruperJoe! Too fast for the trap, Fayetteville survives on a sugary slap Go Joe! Get Goin’! [final guitar chord ring out]
