Theme

A high-energy song about the rush of a **reckless, directionless life**. The narrator embraces the chaos and speed of the road, using the moniker **'Moto Psycho'** to describe their addiction to motion and refusal to be burdened by responsibility or accountability.

Lyrics
Responsibility, an anchor around my neck Dependability, made me a nervous wreck Accountability, I live from check to check Volatility, neglect and no respect Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat I hit the road to I don't know and look for Tough Shit Street One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) Everybody is a **Moto Psycho** move it or lose it baby **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) 100 Miles an hour **Moto Psycho** I'm a **Moto Psycho** **Moto Psycho** You know you can't resist to tell me what I mean You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between You're all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat I hit the road to I don't know and look for Tough Shit Street One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) Everybody is a **Moto Psycho** move it or lose it baby **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) 100 Miles an hour **Moto Psycho** I'm a **Moto Psycho** One-way ticket nowhere there's no windows on this train Can't see where I'm headed but I'm going there again **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) Everybody is a **Moto Psycho** **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) Move it or lose it baby **Moto Psycho** Where I'm headed I don't know But I'm shoving off and I hit the road **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere) I'm a **Moto Psycho** **Moto Psycho** (I'm going nowhere) **Moto Psycho** (going nowhere)
