Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I ride into the dust
My gun is loaded with bullets made of blood
The sound of my shotgun
Is coming right from my direction
Makes you get in action
[Pre-Chorus]
This land of desperados
This nowhere land
No mercy for the loser
And tonight you lost look at me
[Chorus; sing twice]
Yankee yankee damn yankee
I can make you see your shadow dancing
Yankee yankee damn yankee
Everybody wants me dead or alive
[Verse 2]
My tears are made of rust
I know this place is called the broken heart
My life so wild and fast
Has took a terminal dilection
No more time for action

- The second re-release of the 2024 single was actually meant to be released on June of 2022, but it was released later in 2024. Because of this, the release changed the actual release date[1].
