LYRICS

Why can't you do something right?
Your name is all over the town
Your reputation is sweeping the nation
The rumours are bringing me down
You stand on the tip of my tongue
I can't get you out of my head
There's no syncopation, with any real nation
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?

Four wheel drive, four wheel drive
Side by side, four wheel drive

Why don't you drive us around?
I'm standing at the back of the line
We made reservations, to meet at the station
My schedule is running behind

What can I do to survive?
Why am I always abused?
Anticipation of constant frustration
Can it be that there's any good news?

Four wheel drive, four wheel drive
Side by side, four wheel drive

Why can't you do something right?
Your name is all over the town
Your reputation is sweeping the nation
The rumours are bringing me down

You stand on the tip of my tongue
I can't get you out of my head
There's no syncopation, with any real nation
Could it be that there's trouble ahead?

Four wheel drive, four wheel drive
Side by side, four wheel drive
(repeat 5x)
