"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Unfinished,
Are the issues we wait until tomorrow to confront
Unpunished,
Are the deeds we do to gain us what we want
Intentions,
Have to be genuine in order to be felt
Decisive,
We will be, once we clear the past from our present self
This bond
No force can sever
This time
Was never better
These words
Our generation
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Let's scream, let's scream
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Divided,
Is how they want us for their control
Becoming,
A threat to the freedoms that they stole
This bond
No force can sever
This time
Was never better
These words
Our generation
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Indivisible
Profits over people
Propaganda over truth
Bias before balance
Our future will be the victim that they choose
Becoming
This bond, no force can sever
Decisive
This time, was never better
Determined
These words, our generation
Bruised and battered, let's scream, broke & bleeding
Counted out but never beaten
Let's scream an anthem for every nation
Indivisible
Let's scream for every nation
Let's scream an anthem for every nation
Indivisible
Are the issues we wait until tomorrow to confront
Unpunished,
Are the deeds we do to gain us what we want
Intentions,
Have to be genuine in order to be felt
Decisive,
We will be, once we clear the past from our present self
This bond
No force can sever
This time
Was never better
These words
Our generation
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Let's scream, let's scream
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Divided,
Is how they want us for their control
Becoming,
A threat to the freedoms that they stole
This bond
No force can sever
This time
Was never better
These words
Our generation
Let's scream the anthem for every nation
Indivisible
Profits over people
Propaganda over truth
Bias before balance
Our future will be the victim that they choose
Becoming
This bond, no force can sever
Decisive
This time, was never better
Determined
These words, our generation
Bruised and battered, let's scream, broke & bleeding
Counted out but never beaten
Let's scream an anthem for every nation
Indivisible
Let's scream for every nation
Let's scream an anthem for every nation
Indivisible

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
