2 - Intro
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, Full Throttle. One of the first games to include a full Rock and
Roll sound track produced by a rather kick ass band, the Gone Jackals.
This document contains the lyrics of the songs from Full Throttle, and
while there were many other tracks in the game, none of them either
had lyrics, or were short clips before the lyrics. Therefore those
songs are not included here.

3 - Legacy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Legacy" by the Gone Jackals
Plays during the intro
December '61
my Dad's wages light
Still on that salary
we, all four, could sleep tight
Right now if you drank from
that very same well
you'd need a run of luck
to score a bed in a trick hotel
Is this the legacy of
too much for too few that I see
The kind of legacy that's
tossin' some good men to their knees
The Great Society's
maligned concrete cage
sits dead and vacant now
at least it kept out rain
With all those corners cut
the cracks grow wide and near
I heard some cash was saved
but where it's gone ain't clear
Who goes down next I don't know
I don't know nothin'
anymore Tomorrow's legacy that's
layin' in state awaits reprieve
I always thought that when a man goes down
you do your best to pick him up
But how can the milk of kindness trickle down
when it's syphoned off and cheats the cup
=======================================================================
4 - Born bad
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Born bad" by the Gone Jackals
Plays during the ending credits
That's the way it begins
you try to behave
yeah, you try to fit in
But when you rise and stand
you find a lock step march
no room for jazz
Born bad
with a slight-o-hand
I go from jam to jam
with a crash, boom, bam
Born bad
I dodge a sucker punch
and drop a bomb, like Liston
on an animal hunch
I've been down
Yeah, I've spent some time downtown
I've covered sacred ground
soft and slow and round
I gave up
Yeah, I learned to give it up,
thinkin' that's the final cut
But it turns out I was wrong
Born bad
that's the way it began
stuffed a young pink lung
down a rank glue bag
Born bad
this is where it all lands
for a bull headed, corner hangin'
problem child man
I grew hard
Over time my scars toughed up
When gettin' even just wasn't enough,
I had to choke my conscience off
I've come far
Yeah, I had to travel far
Peel through layers sick and raw
just to taste and touch once more
Born bad
like a synchro mesh shift
that's stuck in third
just smokes and burns
Born bad
with a cig-hangin' lip
A talk back baby on a
star-crossed ship
=======================================================================
5 - Drop the hammer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Drop the hammer" by the Gone Jackals
Plays during the ending credits
Stars spinning
the earth forgiving our backs
Pines season
the cool wind as we fill our chests
Babe, you dropped the hammer of love
you dropped the hammer of love
on me.
Babe, you dropped the hammer of love
don't drop the hammer of love
on me.
Beer flows through
tequila through Lucy's sequins
Kids snoring,
the boom box sings Dandelion
Now you're in the stars
up in the autumn lights
A stage set the befits
a Chieftain of our tribe
Don't forget me
as I await my flight
I wish on a star
for you tonight
If there is
a way it can be arranged
when my time comes
I'd like to, again, share a stage
=======================================================================
6 - Increased chances
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Increased chances" by Chitlins, Whiskey and Skirt
Plays in Todd's "House", Emmet's truck, and the ending credits
The population is greatly decreased,
And now the odds are grealy increased,
That I may someday get a chance to kiss your lips.
I thank the Lord each day for the apocalypse.
Folks are mostly disfigured or dead,
But sugar, I won't let it go to my head.
My Mamma's face has dripped down into the dirt,
But I'm still chasing Chitlins, Whiskey and Skirt
[Strange vocal sounds]
=======================================================================
7 - Legal
