Let’s put my foot on the gas

Let’s put my foot on the gas

Let’s put my foot on the gas

I want to drive past the words of propaganda

The road is rocky and never runs straight

I want to escape

Before the bridge of words collapses on me

I want to pick up the words and make them tangible

With my pen I want to write them again

There are so many words and voices

I hear them on the television, radio and newspapers

Sometimes they become distorted as they travel so very far

The words never flow

Lost in deep translation

Just like the party game

Chinese whispers

I want to drive fast

Past the distorted words as the fragile bridge of words will collapse

I want to write the true words structured and standing so tall

So we are rid of propaganda

Pictures and words of untold tales

Never reaches the television, radio or newspapers

I want to put my foot on the gas

How I wish I could just drive fast

Rid of the rocky road that never runs straight

How I wish I could just drive past

I want to escape

Let’s put my foot on the gas
