"Unsafe At Any Speed" lyrics

Accelerating the mortality rate
As I speed toward your fetid fate
Vehicular slaughter, my preferred comportment
A tally demarcated in my glove compartment

A white line nightmare
White-knuckle thrills beyond compare
Entrails enmeshed in my grill
Another road, another kill

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed
Look both ways, unsafe at any speed
Accelerate, unsafe at any speed
Never safe at any speed

Screaming wheels grind your face into bits
Innards-sprayed undercarriage, caked bile, guts and shit
Skull cracks under steel-belted tread
The pavement is spattered, green, black and red

Stop on red, leave on amber
Screaming in fear, you stumble and clamber
Legs crushed under-wheel as you scream
Femur caught in the axle, death's smell, gasoline

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed
Look both ways, unsafe at any speed
Accelerate, unsafe at any speed
Never safe
At any—

The cry of the engine, screams in the night
Drowning out desperate pleas, last gasps of fright
Life flashes before you, just before you're passed
Driven to madness, I press down the gas

A red-inked scorecard of human wreckage
Death on four wheels, in my horror-drawn carriage
Swap notes on the bloody road left behind us
In our wake, twisted metal and human detritus

A race to the end of all roads
Measured in bodies, horsepower, and blood
Remains dry in the heat in the cracks
Red-blood caked asphalt now curdling black

Be afraid, unsafe at any speed
Look both ways, unsafe at any speed
Accelerate, unsafe at any speed
Never safe at any speed
