Warren Zevon - Gridlock Lyrics
It's 5:00 P.M. on a weekday, friendThere's one of me and two million of themThe whistle blows and the factories closeThere's a million more commuters on the access roadsThe brake lights flash--there's an RV crashedI'm in the passing lane going nowhere fastThe traffic crawls and the engine stallsI'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawlGridlockUp aheadThere's a line of cars as far as I can seeGridlockGoin' nowhereRoll down the window, let me screamOh yeah, ain't it a shameWe're all jammed up at the interchangeThe paramedics and the CHPWait impatiently for catastrophesI'm spending half my days like thisI might as well be working on the midnight shiftThe radio's tuned to the traffic newsAnd everybody's choking on monoxide fumesGridlockUp aheadThere's a line of cars as far as I can seeGridlockGoin' nowhereRoll down the window, let me screamI can close my eyes and dreamI can close my eyes and dreamI can close my eyes and dreamIt's 5:00PM on a weekday, friendI'm going home but I don't know whenI hate this traffic and I hate this townGotta honk my horn, try to get aroundI feel like going on a killing spreeTomorrow I'm going on the RTDThe traffic crawls and the engine stallsI'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawlGridlockUp aheadThere's a line of cars as far as I can seeGridlockGoin' nowhereRoll down the window, let me screamI can close my eyes and dream
