Whiplash caught the silver son Took the film to No. I Crashed the car and left us here Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid Crashed the car and left us here.
And daddy burned a million eyes Dared the dogs to criticise He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads Took the teenage dream to bed He crashed the car and left us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes Green fields of destiny high in the sky But oh can you see him? Oh Daddy's speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son Killed the sad American Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine Come with me now it's your time Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day Takes the teenage boys away They crash the cars and leave us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes Green fields and death machines high in the sky
