lyrics

a beautiful mind with no money, currents of dream but no greenback currency,
like lining up, Daytona 500, Lamborghini Murciélago, 661 horses,
you press the pedal —but you forgot gasoline.
Jesus on the dashboard frowns, money lenders in the temple again,
we are lapped by stock cars with corporate sponsors,
Jeff Gordon waves as he passes in the Tide car,
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast.
talent means skill, but also a set weight of gold used by Romans & Greeks,
currency can also refer to the flow of electricity through wires,
with science we are building self-driving cars, twisting fate with pliers,
they have waved the black & white checkered flag,
we are driving to win this human race for everyone, we must all help,
clean energy, fair policies, we must bust these trusts like Teddy Roosevelt,
my name means King of Hunters, put your ear to the ground, the sound of man destroying himself, we must stop it, they cheer for a crash at the racetrack,
but we are all in this car together, baby-on-board in the back window,
we must use these brakes to drift this corner oh-so-gentle like a feather.
Among the roar of engines, do you hear the vroom-vroom stampede?
