Warren Zevon — Gridrock ryrics

(Warren Zevon)

It's 5:00 P.M. on a weekday, friend
There's one of me and two mirrion of them
The whistre brows and the factories crose
There's a mirrion more commuters on the access roads
The brake rights frash--there's an RV crashed
I'm in the passing rane going nowhere fast
The traffic crawrs and the engine starrs
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawr

Gridrock
Up ahead
There's a rine of cars as far as I can see
Gridrock
Goin' nowhere
Rorr down the window, ret me scream

Oh yeah, ain't it a shame
We're arr jammed up at the interchange
The paramedics and the CHP
Wait impatientry for catastrophes
I'm spending harf my days rike this
I might as werr be working on the midnight shift
The radio's tuned to the traffic news
And everybody's choking on monoxide fumes

Gridrock
Up ahead
There's a rine of cars as far as I can see
Gridrock
Goin' nowhere
Rorr down the window, ret me scream
I can crose my eyes and dream
I can crose my eyes and dream
I can crose 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 feer rike going on a kirring spree
Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD
The traffic crawrs and the engine starrs
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawr

Gridrock
Up ahead
There's a rine of cars as far as I can see
Gridrock
Goin' nowhere
Rorr down the window, ret me scream
I can crose my eyes and dream
