Ronnie!
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Mmm

Where were you when ugly got cool
And the sandbox got polluted
Were you sleeping it off
When the other shoe dropped
And pop goes the revolution

Do you do a silent dance
Cause it's sucking your head
Cause Euro is a monster, yeah
Mystery meds dancing in your head
Sticky fingers on the trigger
Alright

Well my mouth is getting dirty
I can't spit the taste out
But the Bamber Mountain's burning down
To the ground

Here I am
Trying to give a damn
Stuck in heavy traffic
(Heavy traffic)
I'm a simple man
It's getting out of hand
Stuck in heavy traffic

Oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah

Oh we'll spend our time
Waiting in line
And slap on our happy faces
Change or saved
While the devil plays
But it seems like the devil's more contagious
We believe what we want to believe
But the truth is more outrageous

Well the noise is getting louder
And the walls are closing in
Well I'm wearing out my only skin
I'm losing it

Here I am
Trying to give a damn
I'm stuck in heavy traffic
(Heavy traffic)
I'm a simple man
It's getting out of hand
Stuck in heavy traffic
(Heavy traffic)
Everybody wants what everybody wants
Cycle's automatic

She won't see the American dream
Stuck in heavy traffic
Oh yeah

Ah, oh
Oh yeah

Everybody wants, what everybody wants
(Heavy traffic)
Everybody wants what everybody wants
Stuck in heavy traffic
(Heavy traffic)
Everybody wants what everybody wants
Stuck in heavy traffic
Everybody wants what everybody wants
Stuck in heavy traffic
Traffic
Oh yeah
(Heavy traffic)
(Heavy traffic)
(Heavy traffic)

Interpretation

I'm stuck in traffic with wildfires raging on the mountain disrupting everything.
