lyrics

Have you seen my brand new car?
It drives itself and sets the bar
I bought it on loan from tomorrow
There wasn’t a thing I wouldn’t borrow
The human being’s traffic ideal
Powerless behind the wheel
Saving time by taking back routes
Spare the children, but take the parents out

The doldrums broken up by flashing lights on the highway
It was so loud...

I don’t think we’re in control of our rides anymore
Sitting in my backseat, falling asleep, wondering
Can we stop, without brakes?

Don’t overthink the destination
Just hope you don’t end up in the ocean
Specify and make it scenic
The world is whirling, don’t get motion sick
Voice-controlled entertainment
Gone are the days of being patient
Powerless behind the wheel
Automatic Automobile

Even the sunset gets pretty lonesome these days
But it was so loud...

I don’t think we’re in control of our lives anymore
Watching tourists slip by my window, waiting
For nothing to happen

-2050-
Today’s the day that you’ll be reborn
It hurts worse than a wasp sting, but don’t be unsure
You’ll be so famous that you could kill
And the burn of regret is just part of the thrill
It’s a bit like voyeurism
Except you’re watching your own past
Wondering where the Hell you went wrong
And how you got yourself into this mess

It only happens once
So please relax
It only happens once
So please slow down

Now the Mafia’s a vigilante group
Staging a coup from the backseat of their coupe
And you can vote for them in the next election
Runnin’ against the crooks who sold off all your health protection
Oh God, please make it stop!
Won’t somebody call the cops?
But the Blue Lives only care about drug crimes
And Jaywalks

That’s not how it works
Anymore
No no, that’s not how it works
Anymore

It only happens once
So please relax
It only happens once
So please slow down
{repeat ad nauseum}
