The 1st song of their fourth studio album, Paramore, released April 5th 2013.
Paramore felt this song was a fitting choice to lead off their self-titled album, as it is about their newfound bond with each other.
Bassist Jeremy Davis told Wireless Magazine:
I feel like the lyrics in that song tell y...
[Verse 1]
Been through the wringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal
[Pre-Chorus]
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break
[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No, we're not looking for violence, oh, oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun
[Verse 2]
No one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No one's as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try raising the dead
We only see what's in front of us
We only see straight ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break
[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No, we're not looking for violence, oh, oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Get in my car and we'll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out
And we get along so sweetly
[Chorus]
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No, we're not looking for violence, oh, oh-oh-oh
Tonight we want to have fun (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Outro]
We're driving fast in my car
We're driving fast in my car
And we're not looking for violence, oh, oh-oh-oh
We're driving fast in my car
And we want just to have fun

Paramore released Fast in My Car on Tue Apr 09 2013.
After being asked if the song was about Paramore’s lineup changes in an interview with SPIN, Hayley Williams stated:
“Fast in My Car” is actually more about people who can’t let go of our past, and the people who can’t see outside of the big, fat shadow of Paramore’s soap opera. It’s about just wan...
Hayley told MTV News:
We were living in LA when we made the record, and we were writing it out there too, and one night, I had, like, a Honda Hybrid car, and we pile into it, and there’s only two seats, and so Taylor [York’s] laid out in the back of it; we’re all trying to fit into it to go get sus...
