<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 ☆ | |||

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! | |||
