Zevon, Warren - Gridlock Lyrics
It's 5:00 P.M. on a weekday, friend
There's one of me and two million of them
The whistle blows and the factories close
There's a million more commuters on the access roads
The brake lights flash--there's an RV crashed
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl
Gridlock
Up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream
We're all jammed up at the interchange
The paramedics and the CHP
Wait impatiently for catastrophes
I'm spending half my days like this
I might as well be working on the midnight shift
The radio's tuned to the traffic news
And everybody's choking on monoxide fumes
Gridlock
Up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream
I can close my eyes and dream
It's 5:00 PM on a weekday, friend
I'm going home but I don't know when
I hate this traffic and I hate this town
Gotta honk my horn, try to get around
I feel like going on a killing spree
Tomorrow I'm going on the RTD
The traffic crawls and the engine stalls
I'm stuck on the edge of the urban sprawl
Gridlock
Up ahead
There's a line of cars as far as I can see
Gridlock
Goin' nowhere
Roll down the window, let me scream
I can close my eyes and dream

Why it wasn't in the Michael Douglass movie where he snaps and starts shooting g peps after a car jammup at the interchange is beyond me, not to mentio. That Michael Douglass is the person showing us this great vid

wat film is this?
Looking for a song to express something about your everyday life? Where better to look than the songs of Warren Zevon. You might find just what you want, better than anyone else can say it, tucked away on some now-obscure album, like this gem on the highly underrated album called Transverse City.
down at the mall
Recommend playing this on the 405 if you feel yourself about to pull a D-FENS.
That movie tip-toes around the "diversity" issue but it tackles the horrors of urban commuting head on! :-)
Zevon and Neil Young. Doesn't get much more down to earth than that.
I used to love this movie as a kid. They should do a remake.
