Road Driving


Violent road driving, now,
Cunning with speed

Swerving through traffic and
Taking the lead

Pass on the right, pull to the left
Dodge all the busses and burn all the gas

Just violent road driving here, in the back seat
Could die any time in the mouth of a beast


Smog, heat, great deals
Oil and wheels
Straight lines and gears
Too loud to hear

Bustling monk, dodging a bus
Don't quite know who to trust

Everyone's running around
Up over the bridge and then down

Towers so high, McDonalds signs
Guards weilding big guns and knives
