Are you tired of looking at my ponytail
Can you see it from your lofty sails
Or do you see me at all
The passenger in front of your glass wall
Two, that is: your cell phone and your windshield
It seems nothing really makes you yield
Orange cones and signs for school zones
Aren’t reason to brake
Nor is a pretty lake
I’m taking my time going over the bridge
I’m in the right lane going the speed limit
You’re welcome to scoot over a smidge
The heights on the water aren’t as mesmerizing as what’s on your screen
Or the red lights reflected into your high beams
What’s that song? Life is a highway…
It’s treachery out here
I’d rather be a pedestrian
At least the bumper stickers have me agreein’
ANY FUNCTIONING ADULT 2024
EITHER DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO ‘TRY’
They’re so dandy
And NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR STICK FAMILY
Is it every man for himself out here
You can just go around if you want someone to disappear
But no matter how fast or how slow you drive
Whether your road is low or high
Bumper stickers won’t make you quicker
There’s a law over all of us we can’t escape
A target on everyone’s nape
We can only get around for so long
Drive your speed
Are we all fueled by greed
Don’t stick families and all color lives matter
Is there any meaning to all the political chatter
I’ll go my speed
You can go around me
But you can’t ignore the law that hovers over us all
Stronger than the speed limit
Fiercer than any prosecutor
These cars, these noises are just polluters
Pay attention to It
