When Horsepower Meant What It Said lyrics

Lyrics

Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane
'Cause they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

Chorus:
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said

I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the field
Because they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

( Chorus )

And if we're keeping up with progress why am I still standing still?
Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill

( Chorus )

How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
