Bulldozer
Fred Schneider Lyrics

Head cradled on the steering wheel
Tired and defeated, he rests his head on the steering wheel

Pillowed dreams like a child
He dreams of success and happiness, just like a child would

Child driving can't see the road
He's too inexperienced and naive to see the dangers ahead

Another dose of the miracle mile
He takes another chance on a path that promises success but often ends in failure

The road opens he's driving fast
With newfound hope, he speeds towards his dreams

Burning tires on stars in the grass
He's leaving his mark and making a name for himself

Never willing to talk his soul
He doesn't want to confide in anyone and risk revealing his vulnerabilities

Afraid they'll see his tears are glass
He's afraid that if he opens up, people will see that he's fragile and easily broken

Bulldozer on the miracle mile
He's pushing forward with determination on a risky path to success

Thrill dozer passed out in his car
He's pushing himself too hard and burning out before he can make it

Another pint on the road to ruin
He turns to alcohol as a crutch, leading him down a dangerous path

The flower falls before the bloom
His potential is wasted before he has a chance to truly shine

Tear the pages from your book of dreams
He's giving up on his hopes and aspirations

Come and go with a deadly smile
He puts on a facade of happiness and success while hiding his inner turmoil

Watch them throw your pearls to swine
He's watching his hard work and talent go to waste in the hands of those who don't appreciate it

The grand opening is tomorrow
He's about to debut his latest attempt at success

Big empty in less than a year
It's all going to fall apart soon and leave him with nothing

You didn't know how you'd pay
He's taking a huge risk without knowing how he'll be able to make it financially

They've taken it and gone away
His success has been stolen from him by those who don't deserve it

Head cradled on the steering wheel
He's back where he started: tired, defeated, and lost

Pillowed dreams like a child
But he still clings to his hopes and dreams, just like a child would

Another dose of the miracle mile
And he's ready to try again, even though it might lead him down the same path to failure

The flower falls before the bloom
His potential is constantly being wasted before he has a chance to truly shine

Bulldozer on the miracle mile
He's determined to push forward and find success, no matter how elusive it may be

Thrill dozer passed out in his car
But he risks burning himself out and losing everything he's worked for

Another pint on his road to ruin
Each mistake he makes and risk he takes brings him one step closer to failure and ultimate ruin
