Song: Get Outta My Way
Band: Rancid
Album: Rancid (1993)
Written by Eric Dinwitty/performed by the Uptones

This great cover of an old Uptones song sounds very similar to Operation
Ivy to me, but it's still a great song, since I'm a huge Rancid and OpIvy
fan. Anyway, here it is:

Intro:

(After playing this once, play intro riff)

Then after solo, play verse chords 1x,
followed by "Kid get outta my way" played over G - C - D
about 13 or 14 times, and that's the song!

Lyrics: (my own interpretation)
Don't want to hurt you or cause any trouble but get outta my way, get
outta my way. Trying to dance and yo move on the double, said get outta
my way, get outta my way.

Don't want your lies and I don't want your rat race. I don't see any fun,
any fun thrown up round this space.

I paid as much as you, get outta my way, get outta my way.

Oh rich kid, rich kid get outta my hair, get outta my way, get outta my
way. I'll sing what I'll sing and I'll wear what I'll wear, get outta my
way, get outta my way.

I try to love mankind and I try to do what's right. But I can't do
anything, anything with this stain in my light.

Got a uniform all you need is a badge, get outta my way, get outta my way.

I don't wanna hurt you or cause any trouble but get outta my way, get
outta my way. Trying to dance, and yo move on the double, said get outta
my way, get outta my way.

Who do you think you are, do you think you're some kind of cop? Why did
you come at all, you're a fuckin cop!

Kid get outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid get
outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid, get outta
my way.
Kid get outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid get outta my way, Kid get
outta my way, Kid get out, Get out, OF MY WAY!

That's it! The lyrics may (do) have a few mistakes, and I don't believe
the solo's perfect, either. So, let me know if you have a different way
to play or sing this song, and e-mail me if you have any questions,
comments, or anything else.
