lyrics

put to sleep my car, a cup of sand set it free d f/6 g/8 /fret
cuz baby likes sweet air, cars make baby sneeze d f/6 g/8 c/13
so I walk and dance, bus and bike around d f/6 g/8
cuz baby likes blue sky, no hurricanes spinning round d f/6 g/8 c/13

it’s not just the traffic jams, insurance, license, repairs g a d
it’s driving solo in a stinking box and pretending not to care g em a
so with my eco bling and a smartphone em a em d
I’m baby’s green flash in the streetzone em a d

dead motor in my car, one cup of sand for love and peace
(no motor in my car, melted for love and peace)
cuz baby likes the forests, cars hurt the magic trees
so I walk and rideshare, bus and bike around
cuz baby likes the rain, with no poisons coming down

it’s not just the taxes, noise, parking, gasoline
it’s knowing it’s a life-sucking, extinction machine
so with my eco bod, transit card and computer
I’m baby’s stealthy wired “road” scholar
(earthe spry sprightly agile)

de-part my car, recycle it piece by piece
cuz baby likes the fishies, cars hurt the deep blue sea
so I skate, rideshare or tricycle around
cuz baby likes the life, and more kissing all round

long gone is a car, traded for love and peace
cuz baby likes sweet air, cars make baby sneeze

(so now sleeps, put to rest, shredded, recycled, transformed)
