Lyrics

The Human Wilderness

See them in the car it's the same ever day
The three of them together Tryin' to get away
The girl is in the middle And she's married to the driver
His buddy's on the right And they're feelin like survivors
And when they get off work And head for home
Half an hour later They get in the car and they roam
They roam the human wilderness

Three or four, six packs of beer Some peanuts and cassettes
Killing five hour stretches And sixty cigarettes
They talk about the world When they talk about their town
They ride around the neighborhood In a very fast movin crowd
And when they get off work And head for home
Half an hour later They get in the car and they roam
They roam the human wilderness

See them in the car it's the same ever day
The three of them together Tryin' to get away
The girl is in the middle and she's about to re-marry
Two guys are switching places It makes life around here a little scary
And when they get off work And head for home
Half an hour later They get in the car and they roam
They roam the human wilderness

They got names like Billy,
They got names like Lisa
They got names like Danny
They got got daddies named Cecil

They went to school together
They married each other
They live in the same neighborhood
Three of four blocks from their mother
They roam the human wilderness
