Lyrics

They're takin' names and kickin' butt and comin' to your town
Hillbillies on speed
They're kickin' it out and tearin' it up there ain't no clownin' round
Somebody's gonna bleed
There'll be moonshine magic and hell-raisin' in the street
High altitude badness from the hillbilly cats on speed

They're tearin' down the highway and their lives are on fire
Speed in their hearts, their veins and their tires.
Hellcats from hell, and they don't smell too well
They're thieves, they're crooks, they're scoundrels, they're liars

Chorus

They're bustin' head, they're shootin' lead they're grease and they're sleaze
Cussin' and a' fussin' and they don't hear no pleas
Cruisin' for a bruisin' on their hellcattin' spree
They're pigs, they're scum, they're leaches, they're fleas
