Directed by Nathan Cox, Written by Cook, Jones, Matlock, Rotten "We Didn't Stand a Chance" Chicago Punk Rock & Roll Band Walks Away from Disinclined Major Record Label Dear friends, fans, peers, industry folks, and Roy Orbison: Double high-fives in the air to all from AM Taxi. We're thrilled to announce some really exciting news: we left our record label! We no longer "work" with Virgin/EMI. Things weren't going the way we wanted, which is to say by the end, things weren't going anywhere at all. We got sick of waiting, so we split. Adios. Adieu. Sayonara. We want to be more in touch with the people that are buying our records, and we want to be able to give away free music & videos. Big changes went down at Virgin/EMI; people got fired, hired, replaced, and relocated. This caused things at the label to come to a stand still just as we started gaining some real momentum. After extensive touring and the release of our debut record, everything really began to come together. We wanted to keep working, but we couldn't get a straight answer from anyone at the label. It quickly became obvious that they were too afraid of losing their job to make a move and support us. We also knew there were some people over there who just didn't get it. They didn't care, and they certainly weren't helping us or making things any easier. This went on for over two months before we finally said "fuck it" and let our lawyer go to town. Fortunately, we walked away owning all our masters, videos, and <b>...</b>

Are you driving me home? Street lights on your coma eyes I'm in no shape to drive Besides you're fine I'll say anything Get us out of the parking lot Swerving behind the cops Eyes on the road I got everything you want Like secrets to haunt I got memories to block I got the gun To blow everything Are you driving me home? Are you driving me home? I will be the razor, baby I will be the pill I am the ambulance that never comes The antidote you spill And in the accident I'll be the failure in your brakes I am the truth you couldn't take I am the mistake Worst you ever made Your doubts follow you through the door What do you do it for? You need more and more To feel anything Each night and it's someone else It's the last time you can tell yourself You can tell yourself Anything you want Coat off and you climb the stairs Intentions are very clear I don't want to talk I want everything Are you driving me home? Are you driving me home? I will be <b>...</b>

Lyrics: You were the last thing I saw when I dropped out of sight For the first time in ages completely alive These three AM stars They got me to crawl back I should've never left Slowly replacing the years you spent chasing these fears Now faced here with all that you could have been Drown in neon and smoke It's killing us slowly There had to be something There had to be someone We stared at the headlights Is this what we've become? I guess something much bigger than life is holding you down I bet now that you're older you're lying He was the last thing you saw when the sedative hit For the last time you just couldn't deal with it Under three AM stars Convinced you to come back There had to be something There had to be someone We stared at the headlights Is this what we've become? I guess something much bigger than life is holding you down I bet now that you're older this lie is nailing you into the ground Into the ground Your fears they grew into a mountain Where you're freezing alone at the top Still I'll wait everyday at the bottom Just to catch you the second you drop I guess something much bigger than life is holding you down I bet now that you're older you're lying I guess something much bigger than life is holding you down I bet now that you're older this lie is nailing you into the ground Into <b>...</b>

I don't own any of this. It belongs to it's owners The first song off of AM Taxi's album We don't Stand a Chance There's a lightning under the ceiling Every struck kid looking for a feeling Is gonna raise a cup When the moon is up Because there's nothing else here to do She has a parked cab Begging to leave this With a bar tab bigger than Jesus And a reason for every bullet hole in the Plot laid out for her All the strung-out kids on Dead Street Gave her directions and a fix She's got money left for a ticket out She'd rather drink 'till she don't exist Everybody knows That there's no way out of here Everybody's trying but we just can't leave We got pushed about And the end's not what it seems Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams In our wildest dreams They give you TV To buy what they sell you They give you Bibles To do what they tell you Until the skin and bones Of a programmed home Are the only things to control Between the schools and the factories There's a hidden path that you can't see One by one they keep turning up They've got a new life here in store And all the red lights took the night off As the streets lay bored again The old theaters and churches pray for the Wrecking ball to swing Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com Everybody knows That there's no way out of here Everybody's trying but we just can't leave We got pushed about And the end's not worth the means Packing our bags to kiss it goodbye In our wildest <b>...</b>
