Carpark Rage ..... oh yeah (STOMP STOMP) Verse 1 Pulled up slow by the mobility sign Except there wasn’t one, just painted lines Big four-wheel drive sittin’ high and wide Left us room for half a breath on the driver’s side Door cracks open ‘bout an inch or two I’m holdin’ my breath, holdin’ onto you Tryin’ not to leave a mark or a trace Just another day in a too-tight place Pre-Chorus He’s loadin’ bags like he owns the lane Mutterin’ loud ‘bout people complain Then she rolls up with a look that bites Like courtesy died sometime last night Chorus Oh, it’s carpark rage in the midday sun Skinny pants preachin’ how it’s “your problem, hun” “Stay in your lines, don’t touch my pride If you don’t fit, that’s on your side” No disabled spots, no room to breathe But she’s flexin’ power she don’t even need Yeah, I came for help, not to catch a case Welcome to the showdown — carpark rage Verse 2 She says, “Watch it, love, you hit my car You’ll regret it” ... says it way too hard I’m bitin’ my tongue, countin’ to ten Door still hoverin’, heart poundin’ in my chest I say, “Take a look, there’s none around” She laughs like compassion’s out of bounds “I’m parked just fine, within the lines Your struggle ain’t messin’ with my time” Pre-Chorus 2 Funny how strength can look so small When it’s punchin’ down in a concrete stall She drives away feelin’ ten feet tall While I’m standin’ there shakin’ at it all Chorus Oh, it’s carpark rage in the midday sun Gym-fit mercy weighin’ next to none “Not my fault, don’t slow my day Just park disabled ... oh wait, okay” No sign, no space, no human grace Just ego wrapped in Lycra lace I didn’t come to fight or plead Just needed room ... that’s all I need Bridge Maybe one day she’ll need that space Need extra time, need someone’s grace Hope the world don’t say what she did to me “Within the lines ... that’s all I see” Final Chorus Yeah, it’s carpark rage but I held my ground Didn’t let her venom knock me down I know who I am, I know my place And it ain’t shrinkin’ for her bad day face So here’s to space and a little respect To see the person, not just the spec I’ll drive away, but I’ll still say We all deserve .... more room than that Outro Next time I pull in, I’ll say a prayer For signs on the wall and a world that cares ‘Til then I’ll sing it loud, release the weight Concrete stories, carpark rage
