Description
Welcome to the wasteland, mate, where the dust bites and the nights are cold.
We hunt for gold in the grime, keeping the fire alive.
Let′s get to it!
Yeah, stalking through the rubble, eyes locked on the prize,
Spot a bottle gleaming like stars in dead skies,
Crack it open quick, feel the heat start to rise,
In this broken land, it′s the spark that survives,
In a stash of green, hidden deep in the wreck,
Spark it up slow, let it soothe the neck,
Drifting through the haze, where the world don′t bite,
In this shattered world, it′s my only lie.
Out in the ruins, huntin’ gold in the grime,
Booze to warm the blood, weed to ease the time,
Smokes to catch a breath, snacks to keep the fight,
Honey′s all made, cutting through the blight.
Crackling fires, burning shadows dance on the wall,
Every step is a gamble, but I′m ready to brawl,
Clutching cans and bottles, treasures in the fall,
This wasteland′s harsh, whispering but answer the call,
Eyes sharp like a hawk, every corner′s a test,
But the thrill of the hunt keeps pounding in my chest,
A rebel with a cause in the dust and the grime,
Finding life in the chaos, one piece at a time.
Out in the ruins, huntin’ gold in the grime,
Booze to warm the blood, weed to ease the time,
Smokes to catch a breath, snacks to keep the fight,
Honey′s all made, cutting through the blight.
Listen now, this ain′t just scavenging, it′s surviving,
Every bottle, every puff, every snack, fuel for the fire inside,
We′re kings and queens of the ruins, masters of the grime,
No surrender, no retreat, this hunt is lit!
Out in the ruins, huntin’ gold in the grime,
Booze to warm the blood, weed to ease the time,
Smokes to catch a breath, snacks to keep the fight,
Honey′s all made, cutting through the blight.
