When Horsepower Meant What It Said - Sandi Thom

Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes

Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane

Patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs

Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

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 jumped the fences in the field

Patiently waiting to get their old jobs back

How easily forgotten,

How easily we're led

How hard the path is trodden

From when horsepower meant what it said

And if we're keeping up with progress why am i standing still

Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill

How easily forgotten,

How easily we're led

How hard the path is trodden

From when horsepower meant what it said

How hard the path is trodden

From when horsepower meant what it said
