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 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).
edgy , great dual guitars a true punk classic
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.
"Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes, Contestants in a suicidal race."
From The Police's Synchronicity II.
Cars are just so funny.
A bloody fantastic song, which I can only agree with.
