Pedestrian

Fad Gadget


Locomotion took us there and back 
We kept our heads, we laid our track 
Pedestrian wait! 

The power of steel automation 
Turn the key for mass ignition 
Pedestrian wait! 

Airplanes buzz like Asian flu
Jumbo junks on Air fix glue 
Spaceships built for leisure cruise 
Baby's feet in brand new shoes

Sunday cleaning chrome and steel 
A man-made god, the automobile 
Pedestrian wait! 

Ford protect us in this race 
To find another parking space 
Pedestrian wait! 

Now you know it takes you nowhere 
Now there's nowhere left to go 
Every road leads to another 
Juggernaut noise and petrol fumes

Twenty five acres every day 
To make one mile of motorway 
Pedestrian wait! 

Don't breathe the air, it's full of lead 
Baby's sick, baby's dead 
Pedestrian wait! 

Now I've got my head screwed on 
And my boots are both laced up 
Don't want to be a precinct puppet 
I'm going to walk just where I choose
