Fast Cars

Buzzcocks

They're nice and precise, each one begins and ends
They may win you admirers, but they'll never earn you friends
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars

They're so depressing going around and around
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars

Sooner or later, you're gonna listen to Ralph Nader
I don't wanna cause a fuss, but fast cars are so dangerous
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, fast cars
I hate fast cars

    General Commentin the 60's, Ralph Nader was an activist concerned with safety standards and such in the auto industry. he wrote a book called Unsafe At Any Speed (perhaps the inspiration for the punk compilation of the same name).

    General CommentIn the 1970s and 1980s Ralph Nader was a key leader in the anti-nuclear power movement. I have no idea what this song means.

    Song Comparison"Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes,
    Contestants in a suicidal race."

    From The Police's Synchronicity II.

    Cars are just so funny.
