This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
1 2 3 4.
We'll ride coast to coast in my holy ghost.
Chrome wheel, fuel injected, high on hope.
Soul engines cruisin' on down the road.
Wind down your glass and let your mind explode.
Hit my ignition rocket 88.
Freewheel all night, let's seal our fate.
'Cause it's drive time baby, drive me wild.
Mmm, it's drive time baby, be my wild child.
I ain't no backseat driver, my hands on the wheel.
I got no standard features, got speed appeal.
Red light, green light, hit the overdrive.
Foot down baby, make me feel alive.
White line high in my love express.
C'mon now drive me back to happiness.
'Cause it's drive time baby, drive me wild.
Mmm, it's drive time baby, be my wild child.
'Cause it's drive time baby, drive me wild.
Mmm, it's drive time baby, be my wild child.
You drive me wild. You really drive me wild.
You drive me wild.
You drive me, drive me wild.
You drive me wild. You really drive me wild.

You drive me, drive me wild.
White line high. (Mmmm)
White line high. (Oh yeah)
White line high.
So get in the car and we'll drive to the stars
if it's a love in my arms, baby.
You drive me wild. You really drive me wild.
You drive me wild.
You drive me, drive me wild.
You drive me wild. You really drive me wild.

Mmm, it's drive time baby, be my wild child.
You drive me wild. You really drive me wild.
