CAR CRASH LYRICS
I got myself together
I got myself in check
I made myself a member
Got myself out the red
I upgraded my upgrade
Give us our daily bread
I got paid on payday
Now I dress well-fed
I clearly won the friendly
Left my opponent dead
I got the keys to the lambo
I took a walk instead
I am the prophecy
I did not come from nothing
And nothing came from me
I took your name in vain
I burnt your effigy
I chewed up your story
Some tush between my teeth
The fear’s gargantuan
Don’t like what I can see
Racist prick on the right side
No one to trust on the left
So I put my foot on overdrive
Close my eyes and press
Definitely I’ll have a dab man
You know I am a dab hand
Super strength superman
I’ll have a stab and can-can
Don’t forget I’m a champ man
Pound for pound gram for gram
I’ll smash that double barrel mitsubishi
Back to Amsterdam
Crash bang wallop on the afghan
Then I rise like a phoenix from the dashcam
AAAAAAAAARGH
Smash
I’m a car crash
I got myself together
I got myself in check
You caught me on my knees
Knees are raw red
You caught me on all fours
Smooching the floor
No metaphor
My thoughts are piss poor
My glass-jaw held open the door
Chin to tarmac
I’m serious Jack
As a heart attack
No life, no help, nobody
Was where I’m at
Smash swing glisten
As everything turns black
My feet leave the ground
As my wings start to flap
Cold goes to warm
As my top gets blood damp my oh my I can feel the raw
Flesh on the bottom of the footwell floor
Flash! Flash!
Everything is turning to black ash
Smash
I’m a car crash
I can feel my eyes vibrate
I can feel my eyes vibrate
I can feel my eyes vibrate
I can feel my eyes vibrate

IDLES might be my best accidental find this year. The From The Basement live performance was phenomenal, so glad I clicked on it

[@gabedecina9535]

Genuinely so pleased with how experimental you guys have gotten with the latest tracks. Really so damn excited for this album!

words can’t describe how ready i am for this.

[@zackp1717]

Holy Death grips, batman

[@FPSproductionsDff]

exmilitary energy

[@GollumWantsTheRing]

You guys never disappoint.
Every album you drop sounds different, but still unmistakably IDLES. Also you never use a music video idea twice. You guys are extremely creative and one of the best contemporary bands out there. Lots of love.

[@vandolmatzis8146]

I am am a 57 year old geezerr and I appreciate what Idles are about..Am happy to live out my last run knowing the youth is in good hands.

Death Grips meets Idles

[@318h7]

I can’t stop listening to this song. Can’t stop being amazed that the whole song is built around one note

[@slg2012]

I'll be shocked if this isn't one of my favorite albums of the year

[@amandafeliciano542]

It's already my favorite album of the year!

[@coldkissofsteel]

@@amandafeliciano542 You should check out Amyl & the Sniffers album Comfort to Me - THAT is the album of the year for 2021. IDLES' Crawler was good but Comfort to Me is next level.

A pledge into Deth Grips zone both music- and clipwise. Majestic
Keep it up, guys, you've got a lot of styles you haven't experimented In yet, but I'm sure they're all gonna be banging as much as this one

[@spacegrass6632]

if you dig this go check out a band called behind you!!

[@petemacdonald2750]

Didn't get that vibe at all until I saw your comment then clarity...It goes it goes it goes Guillotine!!

Heard this track live at the AZ show. It's a banger. Also heard Mark sing "My Heart Will Go On" while standing on the crowd. Amazing show!

2:40 it's like a fricking flashback to the 90s

[@axeldlr10]

This song perfectly describes the madness after so much pain and despair, it is the shining.

[@nathaliamuniz1013]

Must say Kenny is a genius. I'm so happy with the collabs between you guys and him. Star power fr.

[@danielwetzel7777]

Ahhhhh I love it so much.
This drummer is up there with Meg White/Bonham. Refreshing to hear them drums get pounded .
And thank you for that cathartic video

[@magnolia7181]

IDLES, you guys have released 3 magnificent rock/punk albums. I love to see you guys trying some new stuff that was subtly played with on your last album. This new song in particular is phenomenal and I can't wait to hear the rest. Recently I got one of your albums signed (ULTRA MONO) and it meant a ton. Thanks for all the great music.

[@theodorececcon8891]

Violent sound. Violent clip. 🔥♥️

[@inghell]

This is something else. I got serious John Carpenter vibes. Sounded like the perfect soundtrack to a horror movie. Really digging it!

[@SiSi-xg1hk]

Definitely feels like their latest stuff & previous work has a cinematic / soundtrack feel to it that's really cool. Adds to the unstoppable force that builds when they perform it.

[@m4inline]

The word digging has been cancelled. Slavery connotations.
