Devil`s Toe Lyrics

"Every crowd of younger has had its little games to prove if you're punk or not.
My cousin in New York plays 'Chickie',

which is two cars heading towards each other at about 80 miles an hour. The
first driver to swerve out of the way is of

course the chicken. On the Lower Eastside they'd make you press a lit cigarette
onto your forearm and have it burn all the

way up to the filter without the slightest flinch. Here, in upper Manhattan,
guys jump off cliffs into the Harlem river where

the water is literally shitty because right nearby are the giant sewer deposits
where about half a million toilets empty

their goods daily."
