Paul Spencer, 1997
Traffic's tight
Day and night
The streets have all been filled
Here's what you want us to do
"Go out there and build!"
Roads! Freeways! Sweeping bends!
Motorways! Tollways! They're your friends!
Bitumen! Concrete! Asphalt! Tar!
We'll pave all the bits that we've missed so far!
Feeling down
Skies are brown
Nowhere left to breathe
We'll fix the smell
We'll make you well
Just sit back and believe!
What looks great in black?
Roads!
What brings in the cash?
Traffic!
Who has your
Authority!
To fill your life with roads?
Roads! Freeways!...
What's better than urban bush?
Roads!
What's got people on the move?
Traffic!
Who has your
Authority!
To fill your life with roads?
Cars are fun
Trains are dumb
Roads are what you crave
The Lord above
Looked down with love
And this is what he gave
Roads! Freeways!...
