Lyrics
Intro
YEAH!
Hey! Hey!
Don’t forget—
ASK!
Chorus
Always ask if they validate parking! (uh!)
Don’t get played, don’t end up starving! (yeah!)
Wallet’s thin, but the tow truck’s barking,
Always ask if they validate parking!
Verse 1
Pulled up to the show with my broke-ass ride,
Meter ticking fast, got no quarters inside.
Security sneer, they don’t care if I’m late,
But the valet’s got my license plate.
Skrrt, I’m stompin’ in Doc Martens,
Ink on my skin and I’m smellin’ like arson.
Bartender says, “cash only, kid,”
I say, “Cool, but where my ticket gets hid?”
Chorus
Always ask if they validate parking! (uh!)
Corporate scam, man, the city’s sharking! (yeah!)
Chains and locks when the lights stop sparking,
Always ask if they validate parking!
Interlude
Got a citation!
95 bucks!
Got probation!
I don’t give a fuck!
Verse 2
Pulled into the lot, neon crossbones glow,
$20 flat rate just to see the show.
Potholes deep like the system’s teeth,
I park on the curb, man, bite the street.
Sign says free Wi-Fi but no free lot,
What’s the point if my car gets got?
I’d rather smash glass than pay your fee,
Concrete jungle eats punks like me.
Chorus
Always ask if they validate parking! (uh!)
Iron jaws, the asphalt’s marking! (yeah!)
Concrete circus, all loansharking!
Always ask if they validate parking!
Bridge
Meter maid lurkin’, clipboard fiend,
Uniform starch like a guillotine.
She writes me up while I scream and spit—
“PARKING VALIDATION OR I’M BREAKIN’ SHIT!”
Breakdown
Ticket on the windshield—TEAR IT OFF!
Clamp on the tire—KICK IT OFF!
Tow truck comin’—SPIT AND COUGH!
Validation sticker—PAY ME BOSS!
Validate! (Validate!)
Validate! (Validate!)
VALIDATE MY PAIN BEFORE I ROT IN THE STREET!
Chorus
Always ask if they validate parking! (uh!)
Stuck on the curb when the daylight’s darkening! (yeah!)
Stuck on the curb with your cash debarking!
Always ask if they validate parking!
Outro
Yeah… shit's expensive.
Better ask first.
