lyrics

Driverless cars!

I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait for driverless cars
it'll be totally amazingly great, driverless cars
No more texters or speeders or snails
Or that moron with his hi beams on your tail.
the roads will finally be safe with driverless cars.

You will love, love, love a world of driverless cars.
Tap an app, your car comes, drops you off, then goes and parks
If you're stopped by a state trooper
You just shrug and point to the computer.
You got auto-pilot on easy street, driverless cars.

Have no fear, the technology's here.
No more riding with divorced uncle Bob who's been drunk for eight years.
Distracted drivers are the true cause of terror
Studies show that humans are the leading cause of human error.
Take the jerk from behind the wheel: driverless cars

Fine wine and dine in my driverless car.
A little steak tartare, perhaps a Pinot Noir
There's some white wine in the fridge
Look, we're crossing Brooklyn bridge
Bon appetite, have a cigar, in my driverless car.

Driving to my gig strumming guitar.
Writing songs about life on the road is so hard.
Then I'll take a nap
Reclining in the back
Maybe a little nightcap in my driverless car.

There's only one way to make this work,
one way for our roads to be safe:
Make human driving illegal in the United States.
You laugh now - just you wait.

driverless cars will be so fine.
Think about it, you can be drunk all the time!
making out with your date
Barreling down the interstate
open up that mini bar,
Take us to the Mardi Gras,
So long, farewell, au revoir. Driverless cars!
