Fastlane
Internet (The) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Damn near cut me off
Now you're in the fast lane
So you better not slow me down
And I refuse to change my direction
So you best make up your mind
Before I get caught in the intersection
And minor traffic lights
We said that we’d make signals
Get right or get left
Don't seem like you're ready
So just get out of my way
Seventy in six
Get right or get left
Don't tell me you're sorry
Just get out my lane
Slowin' me down
Slowin' me down
And now we're moving faster
You're catching up to speed
And yes your car looks good to me
And you know it, don't try to speed off
Like I didn't teach you, well you know
Are you ready for the open road
We said that we’d make signals
Get right or get left
Don't seem like you're ready
So just get out of my way
Seventy in six
Get right or get left
Don't tell me you're sorry
Slowin' me down
Slowin' me down
Warning signs were there
But we never cared
So we crashed
And learned a lesson
And to take care of the damage
We need to admit that accidents happen
So if it's cool with you
I'll just be on my way

Drivin' in my car
I am driving my car
Damn near cut me off
You almost caused an accident by cutting me off
Now you're in the fast lane
You are now driving in the fast lane
So you better not slow me down
You should not come in my way and obstruct my speed
And I refuse to change my direction
I am not going to change my direction
So you best make up your mind
You should decide what you want to do
Before I get caught in the intersection
Before I cross the intersection
And minor traffic lights
And go through minor traffic signals
We said that we’d make signals
We agreed to communicate with each other through signals
Get right or get left
Choose the right or left lane
Don't seem like you're ready
You do not seem ready
So just get out of my way
Just move out of my way
Seventy in six
Traveling at 70 mph on a six-lane road
Don't tell me you're sorry
Do not apologize now
Just get out my lane
Just get out of my lane
Slowin' me down
You are slowing me down
And now we're moving faster
Now we are driving faster
You're catching up to speed
You are catching up to my speed
And yes your car looks good to me
Your car looks good to me
And you know it, don't try to speed off
You know that I find your car appealing, do not speed away
Like I didn't teach you, well you know
As if I have not taught you before, well you know
Are you ready for the open road
Are you prepared for the long drive ahead?
Warning signs were there
There were signs that warned us
But we never cared
But we chose to ignore them
So we crashed
As a result, we had an accident
And learned a lesson
And learned a valuable lesson
And to take care of the damage
And to repair the damage
We need to admit that accidents happen
We should acknowledge that accidents can occur
So if it's cool with you
So, if you are okay with it
I'll just be on my way
I will continue on my journey

@oSkreaMz
xPruddy That's arguable, besides these people are entertainers and not disturbed high school students.
