Accelerator lyrics
by Curtis Mayfield
[Verse 1]
He walks the streets full of dead meat
Through empty heads and cancelled eyes
Got a pain, I've got a hunger
Lord, my soul ain't satisfied
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
[Verse 2]
It ain't hard to be a sinner
Lord, it's hard to be a saint
Had a taste, you had a glimmer
Start to shiver, can't be what you ain't
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Here we come, we're comin' fast
All the others are in the past
Voices screaming in my head
Into the future, into the future
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on, come on
Hit the accelerator, the accelerator
Come on
[Instrumental Outro]
