Buckle up then hit the gas
Flip the bird as you drive past
Other people just like you
Sure they've got their problems too
Take your mind off of the drive
The hum drum makes you come alive
I take it back, you try the same
I bear the burden, share the blame
Philosophizing by the road
You break down I share the load
You say there's work left to be done
While staring straight into the sun
You'll burn your eyes right to their cores
Focused on your foreign wars
Take a breath and then recite
Your chosen credo of the night:
"One day in a million years
All our bones, all our tears
All your fighting, all your fears
Will vanish in the atmosphere
Crumble up and disappear
Don't hold anything too dear
You can't leave it here"
And I say
"One day we'll be fossils"
