1. Big Trucks

Dad, Dad, why did you let that man push you around like that? You should have beat him down, down to the ground, down to the ground for that.

He said son you're still young and you always jump the gun. There's real people in the big, big trucks that you flip off when they get in your way, you get so hacked that you pay no mind to the great big sign that says oversize load. You really think they can go as fast as you in your '87 Trans AM, they know you're in a terrible rush, they're going just as fast, as fast as they can.

Dad, Dad, I really don't understand what driving big trucks has to do with that man. You should have taught him a lesson about being rude, about talkin' to you with such an attitude.

Son you're still young and you always jump the gun. There's real people in the big, big trucks that you flip off when they get in your way, you get so hacked that you pay no mind to the great big sign that says oversize load. You really think they can go as fast as you in your '87 Trans AM, they know you're in such a terrible rush, they're going just as fast, as fast as they can.

2. Diamond Ring

You said that you would not love Me last summer and you said that you would not love Me last spring but I hoped that you would change your mind by autumn especially when I bought that diamond ring. But you still said no, you would not have Me. You still said no, no, no.

I heard that you've been sleeping with your old friends and I heard when each one left and broke your heart. I told you then that I would never leave you. I told you that I loved you from the start. You still said no, you wouldn't have Me. You still said no, no, no.

Even though you haven't any answers you still think that you don't need anyone to save you from the mess that you've created and even when I gave my only son you still said no, you wouldn't have Me. You still said no, no, no.

3. Invention

Crazy people know the special place to go when the pressure is on. Neurons re-align 'til the feeling is fine or the trouble is gone. They're in the business of inventing saviours.

There's always trouble so tell yourself again that help is on the way and safety abounds, that safety abounds.

When you need some kind of guarantee that you're protected you start to trust the things that deeper comfort brings before you've checked it. You might be waiting for a long time.

There's always trouble so tell yourself again that help is on the way and safety abounds, that safety abounds, that safety abounds, that safety abounds.
