1st Verse
Well its 4:00AM as we head out of Manhattan...
Only two more hours till dawn.
Cruising out of town...watch your speed...and keep it legal...
Safe for some lines to be drawn.
There's fifty pounds of "gold" sitting back in the trunk...
Another day...another all-night run...
Just a hundred miles before we're breathing easier...
And bring home gold with the sun.

Chorus
You just can't stop it, no, you just can't stop it...
Can't stop it even if you try...
You just can't stop it...you just can't stop it...
Now did you ever stop and wonder why?

2nd Verse
Why day after day, it just keeps rolling in...
And day after day, it moves out...
And the man in the streets...going broke from the taxes...
Begins to get angry and shout.
So he steps off the line...and he starts getting high...
And slowly his eyes start to see...
How bad he's been burned...and what his life's all about
Wasn't he supposed to be...free?

Solo Bridge

3rd Verse
So he goes into business...that's entirely new...
To rise above the mess...
Now this gent was cool...and he wasn't no fool...
So he forgot about...IRS.
He forgot about work...he forgot about paying...
He started feeling there might be hope...
But he just can't forget about the CIA...
'Cause now he's selling their dope.

Repeat Chorus

Solo to Fade
