Trash Along the Highway.jpg

TRASH ALONG THE HIGHWAY

there's trash along the highway
dirty bottles, rusted cans
there's trash along the highway
billboards advertisin' wonderland

​

I would go somewhere
if there was a place 
that I could stand

​

they talk about the internet
I wish that I could go
I've heard about the internet
and its golden glow

​

but I’m stuck
beside this highway
cause my modem's 
way too slow

​

they played me for a sucker 
and they sucked me right on in
they played me for a sucker
said I could finally win

​

they took me
for all I had 
then they said
"Ambition is a sin."

​

there's trash along the highway
that's all that I can see
there's trash along the highway
and part of it is me

​

this is where they threw me 
when my blood 
stopped turning green

​

there's trash along the highway
that's all that I can see
there's trash along the highway
and part of it is me
