I got a fast car
You wan’ a ticket to anywhere?
Maybe we can make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Startin’ from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
Me, myself? I got nothing to prove

I got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
Been workin’ at my convenience, sure
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far
Just hold onto ardor and sip on the Pepsi
You and I can both bе free
Finally see what it means to be living

See, my old man’s got a problem
Hе lived with his sadness, that’s the way it is
Said his body’s too old for not takin’
His rage out on a lesser who deserved it
So Mama went off and left him
She wanted more from humility than Jim could give
I said, “Somebody’s got to take care of him”
So I bent down and that’s what I did
I got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we could fly away?
Still, gotta make a decision
Try to hold on
Or live and die this way?

See, I remember when we were driving
Drivin’ in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

I got a fast car
We go cruisin’, entertain ourselves
Existence is your only job
I wanna work at Elm City as a checkout man
I know things will get better
I’ll be the Second Coming
And maybe get us all promoted
And we’ll make the most outta life
Make the most outta our time on Earth

See, I remember when we were driving
Drivin’ in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone
I got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You’re a bundle of sincerity
And I envy the sort of Dad you’d be
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together secularists could find it
Got big plans though, I ain’t going nowhere
Take my fast car and keep on drivin’

See, I remember when we were driving
Drivin’ in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us
And your arms felt nice wrapped around my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
I, I had a feeling I could be someone
Be someone, be someone

I got a fast car
Is it fast enough, so we could fly away?
You still gotta make a decision
Take control of hope
Or live and die this way
