Take the road they said
Take the main road
Straight ahead
No detours
No surprises

Life's too short they said
To stay along
To stay where you are
You need to move
Move, move, ahead of yourself

Buy a sports car they said
It will take you places
Moving fast
A long the roads of life
Spreading money

Don't travel alone they said
Make company
Unite, intersect, make one
Get yourself a satellite, maybe two
Going round, round your head

That's how you die they said
That's how you live a life they said
That's what you should do they said
Listen to me they said
You'll be happy

But

Who the hell knows what they mean?
And what the hell do they know about me?

I think as I take the road
The road straight ahead
The road so many has taken before
The road to life

The road to death
