They didn't used to be this way   In the beginning   Not to put up a front   It's just the way they are      Enter the human race   But no one's winning   You do what you can   This is what they believe      [Chorus]   Road mutants crushing all   They rise while others fall   Laughing in your faces      They smell like death   So hold your breath   Their skin starts to peel   Sucking moisture off the surface   Causing wounds that wait heal   In the night there is no light   The time is right to have fun   Perspiration is no question   When you're caught by the sun   You feel their presence miles away   You feel them coming   Not too quick to arrive   That's their style   But when they finally hit the stage   There's nothing left to say   The real world goes away   Escape for awhile      [Chorus]      They smell like death   So hold your breath   It's time to get down   You can spot them from a distance   Cause they're not from your town   The road mutants love to   Have a good time   When we're gone   You can't erase the scar on your mind      [Chorus]
