It's 5:00 P.M. on a weekday,
friend
There's one of me and two million of
them
The whistle blows and the factories
close
There's a million more commuters on the
access roads
The brake lights flash--there's
an RV crashed
I'm in the passing lane going
nowhere fast
The traffic crawls and the engine
stalls
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban
sprawl
Gridlock
Up ahead
There's a line
of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin'
nowhere
Roll down the window, let me
scream
Oh yeah, ain't it a shame
We're all
jammed up at the interchange
The paramedics
and the CHP
Wait impatiently for
catastrophes
I'm spending half my days like
this
I might as well be working on the
midnight shift
The radio's tuned to the
traffic news
And everybody's choking on
monoxide fumes
Gridlock
Up ahead
There's
a line of cars as far as I can
see
Gridlock
Goin' nowhere
Roll down the
window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and
dream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can
close my eyes and dream
It's 5:00PM on a
weekday, friend
I'm going home but I don't
know when
I hate this traffic and I hate this
town
Gotta honk my horn, try to get
around
I feel like going on a killing
spree
Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD
The
traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I'm stuck
on the edge of the urban sprawl
Gridlock
Up
ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can
see
Gridlock
Goin' nowhere
Roll down the
window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and
dream
