Alanis Morrissette wrote me a song<\/a>.<\/p>\n“I Think”<\/p>\n
I Think cars are really a huge problem
\nI Think pedestrians are too much on my mind
\nI Think lights have got a lot to do with why the world sucks
\nBut what can you do?<\/p>\n
Like a green rain, beating down on me
\nLike a Langston Hughes line, which won’t let go of my brain
\nLike Amber’s ass, it is in my head
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic<\/p>\n
I Think horns are gonna drive us all crazy
\nAnd brakes make me feel like a child
\nI Think fingers will eventually be the downfall of civilization
\nBut what can you do? I said what can you do?<\/p>\n
Like a green rain, beating down on me
\nLike a Langston Hughes line, which won’t let go of my brain
\nLike Amber’s ass, it is in my head
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic<\/p>\n
Like a green rain, beating down on me
\nLike Amber’s smile, cruel and cold
\nLike Langston Hughes’s ass, it is in my head
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic
\nBlame it on traffic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
