THE HIGHWAY

You gave me the finger on the highway
I gave you the finger right back
At 8 o’clock in the morning
The day was already fading to black

You’re writing a check at the market
The line is getting longer
The cashier’s checking out
Our numbers grow stronger

Can you see the rage coming?
Can you stop it all from running out of you?

You’re always getting in the way
You’re oblivious
Do you need to ruin my day?
You can’t be serious, can you?

Take a hike, take a break, take an hour, please be late
You’re invisible to me
You can do what you’re gonna do
You’re divisible and free

Can’t you see the day is coming?
Why can’t you work it out? It’s coming now for you

Be kind
Everyone’s fighting a battle
Everyone’s fighting a battle
Everyone’s fighting….

I’m a jerk, I am a work in progress
I think it’s getting easier
I’ll show you all I’ve learned so far
Let’s not get nastier, can’t we try?

Can you see the rage coming?
Can you stop it all from running out of you?

Be kind...
