Traffic Jamboree! from Storm Transmissions by ANXIETY CAT

Tires on the pavement. Pollution in the air.
Sirens getting louder, but don’t nobody care.
Lawyers on the billboards. Billboards by the foot.
Everybody wants to move, but everybody’s staying put.

Nevermind the clamor. Nevermind the noise.
Nevermind the whirlwind that’s coming to destroy.
Gather up your luggage. Gather up your kids.
Accept it for exactly what it is:

There’s a fire. There’s a fire. There’s a fire in the distance getting closer.

Everyone is deadlocked. Things don’t ever change.
Things don’t ever modify, they only rearrange.
Lawyers on the billboards, prominent like gods.
Don’t bet against the rising heat; don’t bet against the odds.

Nevermind the racket. Nevermind the noise.
Nevermind the hurricane that’s coming to destroy.
Gather up your luggage. Gather up your kids.
Accept it for exactly what it is:

There’s a fire. There’s a fire. There’s a fire. In the distance getting closer.
