Wednesday Night
Out on the freeway the cop lights are flashing Trafficain't moving and you and me 're passing Something barely lit but still kinda glowing Sitting and waiting for things to start flowing again
You say the way I'm smoking's kinda faggy I say well maybe you're just a little dikey I try to show you my new tennis shoes that I paid to much for But at least they ain't Nike
This time Oh It's a Wednesday Night And I ain't dead yet
Some kid someplace is up to no good With his Mama's PC he thinks he's Robin Hood Stealing from the living and givin to the dead We shoulda stuck to surface streets like you said
Oh
You had the tunes up loud and I think I was hearing You saying something bout all the magic disappearing Ever since it got funded by the mega-corporation Which is some kinda metaphor for the whole nation, I think
Oh It's a Wednesday Night And I ain't dead yet
You could sure use a helicopter in this town We could buzz all the buildings and then cruise downtown Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com High above the rabble and the traffic jam Don't these people know who I am
Well to tell you the truth I don't really mind it When the freeway's clogged and it gets really quiet And all you hear's the rumble of Toyotas and Fords And it seems like a good time maybe for the Lord to come
Oh It's a Wednesday Night And I ain't dead yet
We've moved a quarter mile in forty-five minutes I wish this car had a frigerator in it Maybe it's an accident, maybe it's a bust Maybe it's Canada or Mexico taking us over
When it's you and me against the world ya gotta be strong Or at least until something better comes along I found something jammed in the ashtray, if You can find us a match, we can make like Jimmy Cliff
I used to feel guilty, and like I had to grovel Just because I ain't wrote the great American novel But I did fill out the extended warranty In the glove department, we're covered 'til Saturday
Oh It's a Wednesday Night And I ain't dead yet
