	Lyrics Bottlenecked at half past ten Jobs on the line and I’m late again A rolling concrete theater Side by Side and eye to eye Five lanes wide and ten miles long The short-fused masses inch along Squinting through their sun rooves A chopper in the blinding sky Brake lights blinking Stop and Go Freeway exits overflowed To get from A to B on time s’ no longer guaranteed I push preset ten & hear "This just in, The scourge of road rage struck again, Our bird is overhead let’s go to Lisa at the scene” "Hi Chuck, we’ve had a murder here, The suspect's car was full of beer Roll tape of the eyewitness Who describes just what she’s seen" ‘and she said "Bumper Sticker activist honks at Right Wing armed and dangerous And a shouting match ensued" Fingers flip and voices roar From white knuckled fists a bullet bores it’s way into the evening news Brake lights blink Stop and Go Freeway exits overflow To get from A to B alive is no longer guaranteed We share the road as we do this world With bastard sons and daddy’s girls All traveling to somewhere else Godspeed Scanning for reactions In the fishbowl promenade I see her, head in hands A fragile faith is further frayed We look across at one another With hope and fear Are you my brother? Why must humans vent their pain by thinning their own race? Brake lights blink Stop and Go Freeway exits overflowed To get from A to B intact s’ no longer guaranteed We share the road as we do this world With bastard sons and daddy’s girls All traveling to somewhere else Godspeed
