lyrics

Get out of your car

Get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out of your car
Get out, get out, get out, get out
Get out of your car

You could try dancing in the street
You could arrange to meet
A friend by bus or foot or bike
You might even find you like it

Millions of square miles of the planet
Covered in car-parks, roads and tarmac
We could use for growing food -
Then we wouldn't need trucks to bring us food
And we wouldn't need the roads to carry the trucks

Have to look in both directions
'Cos of death on wheels approaching
We just want to walk in peace
Have space for kids to play in safety
Air to breathe that isn't nasty
Sounds to hear that aren't machines..
Lives to live that have some meaning
Even without automation

Transport's hard if you're disabled
But we would all be enabled
If we lived our lives more slowly-
Took the time to think more clearly-
Didn't think the world was just
Made in heaven to please us

We can't fly like eagles
We don't dive like ducks
We depend on technology
Which was meant to set us free
But it looks like we're heading for catastrophe ......
Get out of your car...

(A city cyclist's viewpoint)
