Brand New Age version

Get my kicks on speed
A fast car is all I need
Get my kicks on you
A lot of time little to do

Chorus
Kicks for depression
Need my kicks for my aggression
Kicks for depression
Kick oppressors and oppression

Get my kicks on money
Window shopping with my honey
Get my kicks feel alright
Sleep all day stay out all night

repeat chorus

Get my kicks at night
Fall about when I get tight
Get my kicks in bars
Soft lights and loud guitars

repeat chorus


'She's Not There' EP version

Yeah
Get my kicks on speed
Fast car is all I need
Get my kicks on you
A lot of time and little to do

Chorus
Kicks for depression
Need my kicks for my aggression
Kicks for depression
Kick oppressors and oppression

Get my kicks on money
Window shopping with my honey
Get my kicks feel alright
Sleep all day stay out all night

repeat chorus

Get my kicks at night
Fall around when I get tight
Get my kicks in bars
Soft lights and loud guitars

repeat chorus
