<pre>In the barrio you gotta learn how to survive
Cause you never know When it's your turn to take a dive
So you go through each day
With your eyes in the back of your head
You never know if you'll be alive or be dead
 
That is why always have it
You carry a midnight special
Never leave home without it
Always better with a midnight special
 
In the dark on the street
Never know who you're gonna meet
No problem you got a midnight special</pre>
 
=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>In the barrio you gotta learn how to survive
Cause you never know when it's your turn to take a dive
 
★ So you go through each day
  With your eyes in the back of your head
  You never know if you'll be alive or be dead ★
 
LITTLE JOHNNY SMITH, they nearly laid that boy to rest
But he's still alive - thank God, he must be heaven blessed
 
But you know that somewhere
There's a bullet that says your name
You can't avoid the danger it's part of this game
 
☆ That is why always have it
  You carry a midnight special
  Never leave home without it
  Always better with a midnight special
 
  In the dark on the street
  Never know who you're gonna meet
  No problem you got a midnight special ☆

None.
Sakurai: I went to Tower Records after finishing my work in [[AC DM|DM1st]], and heard a ska punk song playing. It sounded interesting from a game standpoint, so I wondered if I could do something like that next time. "[[P.P.R.]]" and this song were written together with Ono, and it's faster when we write together because I don't get lost (laughs).
 
Ono: Yes, yes, it's fast and fun! (Laughs). When we make songs together, we both grab a guitar and play "1, 2, 3, 4". The most important aspect of DM and GF is the "band groove". The songwriting process became into a private live performance (laughs). That's a very common thing.
 
Sakurai: That's right (laughs). The intro and the final "bababababa-" are melodies written by our youngest member, Yuei. Right!
 
Yuei: Yeah!
