Vicious Cycle
_____________________________________
This hamster wheel of steel needs attention
A look at the exhaust and suspension
Though I look under with apprehension
My goal is always breakdown prevention
This machine ensures my place in the race
That rat race I cannot fully embrace
Figuring out how to withdraw with grace
As I find the parts I need to replace
This great car gets me where I need to go
Through traffic and downpours and blowing snow
I know it will get me there tomorrow
I need the car to get to work, it’s true
I need to work to get the car, I knew
But it also lets me do what I want to do.
