lyrics

You can see it, feel it, story of our lives
It's all living proof, punctuation's not on time
Trying to move forward but we're only moving back
Arriving at work constantly under attack

There's no right, no left, only detours over there
The workman on the stand looking like he just don't care
Never a surprise that it moves so slow
How many times can they dig up a road?

Welcome to gridlock
You can't get out there's roadworks in the way
This is how we spend our days
Welcome to gridlock
There's only "A" and "B" you'll hardly see
A traffic system on its knees,
It'll never run free.

Well it's morning and night and all throughout the day
Arriving at work constantly under delay
Tempers on the edge, our minds are on the fray
See it in the news even more road rage

Councilors smile when they turn the first soil
Then it's four more years of a 20k crawl
Never a surprise why it moves so slow
How many times can they dig up a road?
