There's a long line of cars
And they're trying to get through
There's no single explanation
There's no central destination

But this long line of cars
Is trying to get through
And this long line of cars
Is all because of you
You don't wonder where we're going
Or remember where we've been
We've got to keep this traffic
Flowing and accept a little spin

So this long line of cars
Will never have an end
And this long line of cars
Keeps coming around the bend
From the streets of sacramento
To the freeways of L.A.
We've got to keep this fire burning
And accept a little gray
So this long line of cars
Is trying to break free
And this long line of cars
Is all because of me

This long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars
Long line of cars

    My Interpretation

    Just a thought; this is a metaphor for society \n\n\n\n"There\'s a long line of cars and they\'re trying to get through"\n--\n It\'s what we\'re doing in life; just trying to get through.\n\n\n"There\'s no single explanation, there\'s no central destination"\n--\nIdk for this one\n\n\n"But this long line of cars is trying to get through"\n--\nAgain,\n\n\n"And this long line of cars is all because of...."\n--\nIt\'s everyone\'s fault, not just one person\n\n\n"We don\'t wonder where we\'re going or remember where we\'ve been"\n--\nWe don\'t know how things got this way or wonder what the future holds\n\n\n"We\'ve got to keep this traffic flowing and accept a little sin"\n--\nWe\'ve got to keep pushing on even if it we have to do something immoral or wrong\n\n\n"And this long line of cars will never have an end"\n--\nThis will going on non-stop \n\n\n"And this long line of cars keeps coming \'round the bend"\n--\nHistory seems to be repeating itself \n\n\n"From the streets of Sacramento to the freeways of L.A."\n--\nFrom there to there, this is happening everywhere \n\n\n"We\'ve got to keep this fire burning and accept a little gray"\n--\nI couldn\'t find out what "accepting gray" is\n\n"And this long line of cars is trying to break free" \n--\nWe\'re trying to break out of this repetition\n\n\n"And this long line of cars is all because of...."\n--\nAgain
