Sitting in Traffic Lyrics

I'm just stuck sitting out here in traffic

I wonder where all these people go

And this condemnation is geographic

Thought I would leave so long ago

Can't afford to live here on my own

Can't buy a house can't pay the rent

The bank said I got no chance at a loan

Not with my history of debt

But I can't leave this all behind

It's where I come from

I'm just sitting out here in traffic

Too many people not enough road

And I can't stand this demographic

It's just one big repeat episode

It's like a cell phone army of clones and drones

Shelling out money for Billy Joel

And I've got this aching deep down in my bones

And I can feel the weight of it on my soul

But I can't leave this all behind

It's where I come from

It's where I come from

And I just want to break free

And find a place

Find a place that I belong

But every time I cross that bridge

It feels so terribly wrong

And I'm just sitting out here in traffic

Dreaming all about that open road

And this kind of living is systematic

All safe and warm in the status quo

Just dig your roots in the crowded ground

Find a scrap of land to call your own

Til the taxman come for a fleshy pound

And the bank men come to collect their loan

But I can't leave this all behind

It's where I come from

It's where I come from

And I just want to break free

And find a place

Find a place that I belong

But every time I cross that bridge

It feels so terribly wrong
