[Verse 1]
I don't wanna go back to the daily routine
Don't put me back in that world
And I know there's comfort in consistency
And lookin' like every boy or girl
After twenty-five years, I forget what it's like
To do the same old shit on every Saturday night
[Chorus]
And all the gridlock (Gridlock)
Comin' in hot
It's got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta stop
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Party's over, time to run it home
[Post-Chorus]
And it's a slow burn, baby
I can never ignite
'Til I'm already underwater
Feelin' barely alive
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
I don't know if I can let it go
When collisions are all I know
[Verse 2]
Countin' all the drivers glued to their phones
I stopped after twenty-two
MAGA sticker on the back of Japanese cars
Buddy, I'm just as confused as you
For a moment I think about my mom and my dad
Was this the life that they wanted or was it really that bad?
[Chorus]
And all the gridlock (Gridlock)
Comin' in hot
It's got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta stop
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Party's over, time to run it home
[Post-Chorus]
And it's a slow burn, baby
I can never ignite
'Til I'm already underwater
Feelin' barely alive
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
I don't know if I can let it go
When collisions are all I know
When collisions are all I know (Collisions are all I know)
[Verse 3]
I will stay clear of the drugs and the beer
Keep my Bible close and my crucifix near
Well, the demons are comin'
They're alive and they're well
If I stay up past eleven
I'll be starin' at Hell
[Chorus]
And all the gridlock (Gridlock)
Comin' in hot
It's got me shell shocked
Tell me why time's gotta stop
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
Party's over, time to run it home
[Post-Chorus]
And it's a slow burn baby
I can never ignite
'Til I'm already underwater
Feelin' barely alive
Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh)
I don't know if I can let it go
When collisions are all I know
[Outro]
When collisions are all I know (Gridlock)
Yeah, when collisions are all I know (Gridlock)
(Gridlock)
[Skit]
What's goin' on, people?
You're listenin' to Both Sides Of the Coin with Bill Coin here
Tell us about yourself
What's up? My name's Bo, that's B-O, don't say 'body odor' or I'll fucking level you, bro, know what I'm sayin'? (Hi, my name is Annie and I believe in equality and helping out others to make this a stronger and less divided nation)
I like football, God, pussy and pizza. I hate faggots and immigrants (I like books, art, traveling and I can't deal with bigots or judgement based on fears)
'Cause I'm an American and proud of it, you hear that? *Gun Cocks* (When I hear church bells at a gay couple's wedding)
That's the sound of freedom, baby
