Out on the old coast highwayFlyin' through the nightJed got stopped by the CHPFor speedin' and no brake lightsRolled down the drivers windowSlipped his gun down under the seatGlove box full of cocaineTrunk was full of weed"driver's license and registration,"Said the officer with his flashlightSearchin' around the floor of the carSmellin' like somethin' ain't rightJed's life flashed before himLike a black and white super 8He heard the sound of the future On a scratchy old 78 Nothin' was still, all was movin'When the flashlight found the gunThen jed pulled the trigger In a split second tragic blunder"makes you think about livin'And what life has to tell,"Said jed to grandpaFrom inside his cellCamouflage hung in his closetGuns all over the wallPlans for buildings and engineersAnd a book with no numbers at allThe whole town was stunnedThey closed the coast highway for 12 hoursNo one could believe it Jed was one of oursMeanwhile across the oceanLiving in the internetIs the cause of an explosionNo one has heard yetBut there's no need to worryThere's no reason to fussJust go on about your work nowAnd leave the driving to usAnd we'll be watching you No matter what you doAnd you can do your partBy watching others tooGrandpa put down the paperStaring in disbeliefJed had always been good to himAnd never gave him any grief"the moral of this storyIs try not to get too oldThe more time you spend on earthThe more you see unfoldAnd as an afterthoughtThis must to be toldSome people have taken pure bullshitAnd turned it into gold"
