9 Times Out of 10

9 Times Out of 10’ is about putting yourself out there,” lead singer James Priestner shares, “not just creating a bucket list or pipe dream, but actually going after your lofty goals and reaching them. Anyone can do anything they want to, but it requires putting yourself out there and taking chances. This is a rally call to our fans, that you can be who you want to be if you just believe in yourself and are willing to take risks, like a true Rare American would.

Lyrics
[Refrain]

Ten, ten, ten, nine times out of ten

You know how it ends, you know how it end, end, ends

[Verse 1]

All we want in this life is a guitar and a mic

And a full count, baby, three balls, two strikes

Twitchy kid in class, skin, bones, buck teeth

A mask, Oscar Wilde, the truth beneath, you asked

Learned our scales, learned when we failed

Know we got a sound that ain't going stale

And we ain't on sale, independent as fuck

EL-P wannabes, motherfucking bang 4 your buck

[Chorus]

You poor guys make bucket lists

Rare Americans, we take fuckin' risks

It's a different way to live

It's a different way to live

No, we don't give a fuck about critics, cats

Let us get through to you

We're the man in the arena and there's

Always someone eager to boo at you

[Refrain]

Ten, ten, ten, nine times out of ten

You know how it ends, you know how it ends

[Verse 2]

We can sing motherfucker, we're the real McCoy

We got presence on stage, we're JT Leroy

We're the musical embodiment of D.B. Cooper

Drop parachute lines, people in a stupor

We weren't worth betting on?

Like some kinda Green Monkey?

On the fatness scale, we are fuckin' chunky

[Chorus]

You poor guys make bucket lists

Rare Americans, we take fuckin' risks

It's a different way to live

It's a different way to live

No, we don't give a fuck about critics, cats

Let us get through to you

We're the man in the arena and there's

Always someone eager to boo at you

[Outro]

No, we don't give a fuck about critics, cats

Let us get through to you

We're the man in the arena and there's

Always someone eager to boo at you
