Fast Cars Lyrics

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 'round and 'round
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars,
Fast cars, I hate fast cars

[Solo]

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
Fat cars, fast cars
I hate fast cars

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

@amemt Probably something like "I hate fast cars." Someone explained the Ralph Nader reference up above.
