Performance Lyrics

I know you don't understand...

How could I spend 5 grand on a bike?

You think that's absurd,

Well there's only 1 answer,

And there's only 1 word,

It's Performance!

I don't think you understand,

Riding with fitness is more than track stands

I got a word of advice for all you hipsters

Go and get yourself some brakes and some shifters

I drop 2 g's on my Dura-ace

Cat one race and now I'm setting the pace

My brakes are tuned-up

I can stop on the dime

When I'm in the pack I'm always holding my line

My bike is so light and dialed in just right

I got my seat raised to just the right height

So I can pedal with efficiency

Don't mess with my cadence

I pedal to the beat

How you think I made this?

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

And I always ride through the pain.

All these hipsters think their so tricky

With their messenger bags

On their back on their fixies

Pedaling quickly down the hills

Don't blow out your knees and take a spill

An anodized chain?

Cards in your spokes?

How can you ride?

Your pants are a joke.

You can barely get your hands on your handlebars.

Looking kinda shaky when you're weaving through cars

You think it makes you look like a courier

It really just makes you look girly

Is that a steel frame from 1988?
Mc Spandex - Performance - http://motolyrics.com/mc-spandex/performance-lyrics.html
You might as well use it as an ankle weight

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game.

Carbon fork

Carbon stem

And aluminum frame

Ugh, God I gotta get a carbon frame

24/7 I'm in nothing but spandex

Cutting through the wind cause I'm aerodynamic

And when I slam it

It makes you look inert

Now I'm eating up hills

Like my name is Eddie Merckx

With my endurance

You don't stand a chance

My cardiovascular fitness level's right up there with Lance

Doing what I can

To shave off the seconds

I shave my legs

My girl she doesn't get it

I embrocate my skin

But I'm never doping

Electrolyte smoothies ever morning for my focus

I smoke my opponents anytime, anywhere

You try to hang with me

I'll have you pedaling squares

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game

And I never feel the pain

It's all about performance.

That's the name of the game.

I pump up my tires and I oil my chain.

Performance

That's the name of the game

And I always ride through the pain
