Ride the accident!
(There may not even be... bacteria left)
(Well maybe we're in a simulation right now)

You may notice a slight pulsation in the possible
These conditions are normal, and this may cause you to lose control

The typical food item on an American plate has traveled thirteen to fifteen *hundred* miles to get there
(Fossil fuels *are* our food.)
(The power!)

In five seconds you will overtake the horizon
Ride the accident!

*Would you give up your standard of living?*
The roads are burning!
*Would you give up enjoying life?*
Every road is burning!
*Would you give up your automobile?*
(But now you're calling us animals!)
We're traveling
On burning
(even though we are awake!)
Roads
(We'll use each other, then
Won't we?)
