When Horsepower Meant What It Said
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
but i can't put my foot down and jumped the fences in the field
Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still
maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
How easily forgotten,
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
from when horsepower meant what it said
