F# E B F# E B
I will survive in my mach 5, in my mach 5 I will survive yeahyeahyeah
BBB F# B
I bring the hammer down
BBB F# E
A tiny crushing sound
BBB F# B
I'm in the yard
BBB F# E
Smashing match box cars
BBB F# B
An itty bitty crash
BBB F# E
And my machine is trash
BBB F# B
But I'm blastin' past
BBB F# E G#
With chickey on the dash, chickey on the gas 'go chickey!'
repeat intro (clean sound/acoustic guitar)
I will survive in my mach 5, in my mach 5 I will survive
The firecracker blow
An urge overload
The wild plastic fire
Smoke from the tire
Layin' a little patch
Without a single scratch
Between the hammer and the rock I
Can see bright blue mach 5
Oh my goodness...
It's the most beautiful
little thing I've ever seen in my life
It's blue on the outside
And creamy on the interior
I can't bring myself to smash it
So I take it for a ride on a
Sunny summer sunday afternoon
I'm riding with the top down
Riding with the top down
Riding with the top down
Hell I blew the top right off my car!
I will survive in my mach 5, in my mach 5 I will survive
