Train Wreck (Remastered)

[Guitar Intro] [Verse 1] Two decades past, we were sold a dream, A high-speed rail, a modern transportation scheme But now it's just a nightmare, a never-ending fight With billions spent, but no progress in sight [Chorus] It's a scam, a boondoggle, a waste of our time From Merced to Bakersfield, who's would take that ride? Slower than a plane, more expensive than a bus, It's a sunk cost, it's time to end this fuss! [Verse 2] They promised us the future, but we got stuck in the past A relic of a bygone era, that's not gonna last We need innovation, we need progress too But all we get is empty promises and "we'll get to it soon" [Chorus] It's a scam, a boondoggle, a waste of our time From Merced to Bakersfield, who's would take that ride? Slower than a plane, more expensive than a bus, It's a sunk cost, it's time to end this fuss! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] We're stuck in neutral, while the clock keeps ticking away Every dollar spent is a dollar wasted, every day We deserve better, we deserve the best Let's take control, and end this mess [Verse 3] We've been sold a bill of goods, with empty promises galore But the truth is staring us down, we don't need this anymore! It's time to face the music, and admit we're wrong Let's take back our money, and move on [Chorus] It's a scam, a boondoggle, a waste of our time From Merced to Bakersfield, who's would take that ride? Slower than a plane, more expensive than a bus, It's a sunk cost, it's time to end this fuss! [Guitar Solo] [Outro] I want off this crazy train, it's taking us nowhere fast It's a make-work project, let's stop digging holes at last So let's cut our losses, and walk away From this failed experiment that's here to stay
