Lyrics:

verse 1:

- traffic's got to stop

no going - about your daily business

no business - as usual

no business is more important / more important

- traffic's got to stop

the wheels of - your commute

are the wheels of - this machine

and unless we stall them / they'll just keep going

- traffic's got to stop

 

chorus:

step out into the street / and make them see you / make them listen / traffic's got to stop

step out into the street / make them understand / make them comprehend / make them choose choose choose

until they choose choose choose

 

verse 2:

- traffic's got to stop

no permission / no feel good demonstrations

we have a constitution

we won't take these cookie cutter crumbs

- no, traffic's got to stop

no walking the straight line that they give us,

the slow lane that they built us

we won't obey these street signs

- traffic's got to stop

 

chorus

 

verse 3:

- traffic's got to stop

no waving to the cars passing by

with nobody asking why

our demands ain't some float in a parade

- no, traffic's got to stop

no announcing the routes that we're taking

no leash for the police

the city better be ready to listen

- 'cause traffics gonna stop

 

chorus

make them choose / make them choose / make them choose / until they choose

- traffic's got to stop
