[Verse 1] North, south, east, west Don’t matter which way you go Traffic’s a freaking mess I swear it’s moving slow I’m tapping on the wheel Stuck in a metal row And every lane looks cursed Like nobody wants to go [Pre-Chorus] Sitting in traffic What’s the delay? Brake lights blink Then they fade away Rubberneckers lean Like they got all day And I’m still here At the same damn pace [Chorus] Traffic’s a freaking mess Traffic’s a freaking mess What’s the delay? What’s the delay? People can’t freaking drive People can’t freaking drive Why you merging like that? Why you merging like that? (hey!) [Verse 2] Enter the expressway At twenty-five Like you’re testing me Just to stay alive One hand on the phone One eye on the sign Then you crawl in my lane Like it’s party time I see the whole parade Of bad decisions roll A fender, a stare-down And a coffee cup spill goal [Pre-Chorus] Sitting in traffic What’s the delay? Rubberneckers looking sideways Blocking the way I’m one more honk From losing my mind Everybody moving But nobody drives [Chorus] Traffic’s a freaking mess Traffic’s a freaking mess What’s the delay? What’s the delay? People can’t freaking drive People can’t freaking drive Why you merging like that? Why you merging like that? (hey!) [Bridge] I’m counting exits Counting bad luck signs One guy cuts me off Like he owns all five Then a minivan Drifts through the line And the whole road shakes Like a fault line Oh-oh Get out the way Oh-oh Let the cars behave [Final Chorus] Traffic’s a freaking mess Traffic’s a freaking mess What’s the delay? What’s the delay? People can’t freaking drive People can’t freaking drive North, south, east, west North, south, east, west (go!)
