lyrics

Passed by a cyclist I am not liking this
Stuck between two at five while I am writing this
Nobody move somebody got hurt
A million rubberneckers making me late for work
Steve Winwood in the tape deck playing Low Spark
I'll never see my home with the transmission in park
Thumbing through the audio looking for the answer
The world's a body and human's are a cancer
At this rate this tortoise loses the race
This is the world's worst automobile chase
Refrain from saying stop and smell the roses
I'm stopped inhaling smoke as a lung closes

Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down

Our acidic environ(ment) is free falling in atrophy
Apathy woven in American tapestry
My movements static, losing bats in my attic
Leaving San Diego for this is straight madness
Put your lights on listen to Santana
That No Doubt chick was right this shit is bananas
In the Temple of Doom and I am Indiana
The city air smells like Brian Fantana
I attest amidst this quest I detest
Pollution population all in excess
Eternally my kicks are on and off the gas pedal
My mood's morphing into Norwegian black metal
Swerving like a sloth I'm about to blow my gasket
Dying inside I'd rather sleep in a casket
Ready to shift to park and start to walk
Suddenly we're moving then we stop

Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
Slow down we ain't going no place
Nobody winning in this here rat race
Slow down
