Pedestrian - Fad Gadget

Locomotion took us there and back

We kept our heads, we laid our track

Pedestrian wait!

The power of steel automation

Turn the key for mass ignition

Pedestrian wait!

Airplanes buzz like Asian flu

Jumbo junks on Air fix glue

Spaceships built for leisure cruise

Baby’s feet in brand new shoes

Sunday cleaning chrome and steel

A man-made god, the automobile

Pedestrian wait!

Ford protect us in this race

To find another parking space

Pedestrian wait!

Now you know it takes you nowhere

Now there’s nowhere left to go

Every road leads to another

Juggernaut noise and petrol fumes

Twenty five acres every day

To make one mile of motorway

Pedestrian wait!

Don’t breathe the air, it’s full of lead

Baby’s sick, baby’s dead

Pedestrian wait!

Now I’ve got my head screwed on

And my boots are both laced up

Don’t want to be a precinct puppet

I’m going to walk just where I choose
