I've travelled the world
and everywhere it's the same
It's the motor car madness
Is driving the people insane
Have people forgotten
that cities were meant for them?
Have people forgotten
that cities were meant for living in?

 

It's the motor car madness
is driving the people insane
It's the motor car sadness
The motor car.

I was once a happy human
Used to love that city heat
Now I'm just a traffic nuisance
Made to cross beneath the street...

While...

There's my brother
My wonderful warm
Car-clad brother
At fifty miles an hour
Well-protected
Unaffected
Fuel-injected
It's all right for him.

It's the motor car madness
is driving the people insane
It's the motor car sadness
The motor car.

A pedestrian is a woman
Made to stand in the rain
A pedestrian is a man
Made to suffer traffic pain.
A pedestrian is a woman
Driven under the ground
A pedestrian is a man
Made to walk the long way round.

It's the motor car madness
is driving the people insane
It's the motor car sadness
The motor car.

A pedestrian is a woman
Without a car round her
A pedestrian is a man
A man without a car
A pedestrian is a woman without
A pedestrian is a man without
A pedestrian is a woman
A pedestrian is a man.

Travel Sketchbook

Burly military guy slumbering with his AK on the overnight, windowless train from Yangon (Rangoon) to Mandalay. This guy was across the aisle from our seats, facing our direction. Got nervous whenever he'd rouse himself to slap a mosquito.
