i can't be touched in my one ton steel and plastic cage on wheels
can't change a tire but i'm addicted to the power that the speed makes me feel
forget about tomorrow i'm gusy wasting resources today
can't walk anywhere more than six blocks away
(.... but that's what cars are for)
get off the crosswalk you may have the right of way
but i'm talking on a cell phone and driving today
stand down from our death machines
oils thicker than blood in the land of the free
roll down the window crank the music up loud
i've made myself so isolated but damn am i proud
of my american machine, getting six miles a gallon
but it's massive size makes up for where i'm no stallion
pinko stand down from my death machine
mass transits a ploy to strip my ego from me
how can i flaunt my country's dominance to yours without grotesquely needless luxuries
