Myself 123, yes, because of my desire for the lyrics to be exactly what was said, it is not uncommon for such illiterate cases to come out. Previously, I had no one to discuss it with and I did not fully understand the situation. "You have feeling strong" I understood verbatim as (with a "hidden pause"): "You have feeling, strong." As for numbers, I have already mentioned that “four” and “five” are precisely for rhyme. Because it was hardly possible to put close to each other two such specific concepts (which not everyone will understand, because this is about the command acceleration button) without tying something extra for rhyming (as numbers).

I once tried to understand completely what was said in that in Sonic Mania's semblance of rap: Metallic Madness, Act 1 and 2. Only by slowing down the playback speed I got to clearly recognize of speech. And here is exactly the same situation with the line about the pedal on the metal. Using this, there I cleanly heard four words there: "your," "pedal," "metal," "four." If, moreover, to keep in mind that Johnny has lost "a lot of traffic tickets" (judging by interview), then he clearly does not mind press the pedal to the very end (metal). As I have already mentioned more than once: led is the acceleration button. Numbers are also needed here not only for rhymes, but for example, to verbally show different cinematic shots in your head.

Now about the more controversial: "We won or had undone." "Undone" here for me, the same thing as "lose." Well, each word has a variety of meanings depending on the context. This is does not mean exactly "cancel" for absolutely always, I think I don’t need to explain. But still... Okay: "old-fashioned : defeated or destroyed" – one of the definitions in the dictionary. Yes, old-fashioned, but still. Although, looking at all these numerous abbreviated words, it is starts to seem that used here only new-fashioned speech (after all, relatively recently there has been a tendency to abbreviation). But what if this is an exception? Well, it can't so coincide, I really hear exactly the "undone." And in the end, did you try to listen to this line with slow speed? To tell the truth, there you absolutely hardly will hear "You think we've..." When it is necessary to shorten the text as much as possible, then here you will go any way for this purpose. If paraphrase, then get: "We won or had defeated."

Yes, now I know for sure that I am mistaken about the fourth line, regardless of how many times I heard. I'm trying to give an alternative point of view to help get closer to the point. I hope in the end it really helps us had valid progress.
