Accelerating the mortality rate

As I speed toward your fetid fate

Vehicular slaughter, my preferred comportment

A tally demarcated in my glove compartment

A white line nightmare

White-knuckle thrills beyond compare

Entrails enmeshed in my grill

Another road, another kill

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed

Look both ways, unsafe at any speed

Accelerate, unsafe at any speed

Never safe at any speed

Screaming wheels grind your face into bits

Innards-sprayed undercarriage, caked bile, guts and shit

Skull cracks under steel-belted tread

The pavement is spattered, green, black and red

Stop on red, leave on amber

Screaming in fear, you stumble and clamber

Legs crushed under-wheel as you scream

Femur caught in the axle, death's smell, gasoline

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed

Look both ways, unsafe at any speed

Accelerate, unsafe at any speed

Never safe

The cry of the engine, screams in the night

Drowning out desperate pleas, last gasps of fright

Life flashes before you, just before you're passed

Driven to madness, I press down the gas

A red-inked scorecard of human wreckage

Death on four wheels, in my horror-drawn carriage

Swap notes on the bloody road left behind us

In our wake, twisted metal and human detritus

A race to the end of all roads

Measured in bodies, horsepower, and blood

Remains dry in the heat in the cracks

Red-blood caked asphalt now curdling black

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed

Look both ways, unsafe at any speed

Accelerate, unsafe at any speed

Never safe at any speed
