I failed my driver’s license last week

Who knew there’d be a roundabout?

I also hit a small tree

I’ll have to bike up to your house

‘Cause today I biked through the suburbs

Wish I drove but I’m not allowed

. . . .

And you’re probably with that blonde girl

Who passed her test, no doubt

She’s a better driver than me

Since I hit those pylons on the ground

She’ll never have to bike through the suburbs

‘Cause she has way too much clout

. . . .

And I know I’m not perfect but that stop sign was just so not fun

And I just didn’t imagine that a red light is what I would run

Guess you didn’t mean what you said in your car to me last week

You said I’ll do fine, now I bike alone in this heat

. . . .

And now my mom is tired

Of driving me to school

I kinda feel sorry for her

‘Cause she can’t say no to a quick drive-through

Today I biked through the suburbs

And pictured I was driving home to you

. . . .

And I know I’m not perfect but that stop sign was just so not fun

And I just didn’t imagine that a red light is what I would run

Guess you didn’t mean what you said in your car to me last week

You said I’ll do fine, now I bike alone in this heat

. . . .

RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS

How do you parallel park out in those white cars, front yards?

Can’t drive past the places we used to go to

Until I get my G2 babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Sidewalks, it’s my loss

Since I’m not good in traffic, you’re laughing

There’s too much noise

God, I’m so screwed, you know it’s true

But I’ll still get my G2 babe (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

. . . .

And I know I’m not perfect but that stop sign was just so not fun

And I just didn’t imagine that a red light is what I would run

Guess you didn’t mean what you said in your car to me last week

You said I’ll do fine, now I bike alone in this heat

Yeah maybe I’ll be fine if I just drive while being discrete
