Car Crash

Car Crash,
Whiplash.
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink and drive?

I’m taking you to court,
For you caused a man to die.

Car Crash,
Whiplash,
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink and drive?

Baby in the back seat,
You caused a child to die,

Car Crash,
Whiplash,
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink in drive?

You killed a mother on her way to the hospital,
about to give birth to a child.

Car crash,
Whiplash,
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink your drive?

You killed your mother, 
and your baby brother,
Leaving to give you a ride.

Maybe next time,
You’ll think about your alcohol intake,
Don’t drink and drive,’
Unless you want someone to die.
