Both Gene and Dean are skilled multi-instrumentalists who overdubbed various instruments on their recordings, though they also record with the regular touring band.

Smack dab in the middle of a situation overlooked by fools 
Tables turned, lessons learned, you get burned for playing by the rules 
Time is lost, that's the cost, oh brother, you get shit on the end 
Scrape for a dollar, you'll die smilin', learnin' the same lessons once again 

The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now 
(Right dude? 
That's right!) 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now 
(Isn't that right, dude? 
That's right, Gener, so right) 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now 
(Isn't that right, Gener? Tell me, tell me the truth 
You're right, tell me again) 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now    (oh, check it out) 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, oh, take it 

Smack dab in the middle of a situation overlooked by fools 
Tables turned, lessons learned, you get burned for playing by the rules 
(You know that happens, Gener! 
And I know!) 
Time is lost, that's the cost, oh brother, you get shit on the end 
Scrape for a dollar, you'll die smilin', learnin' the same lessons once again 

The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now 
(Once again) 
The goin' gets tough from the getgo go man go 
Oh brother, not another motherfucker 
Gotta go now 

I think it's over now, Gener! (Gotta go now) 
Oh God!
