Gridlock Alert

Today's a day for gridlock So they've issued an alert Reminding us that there's no way The traffic we can skirt. I wonder why the notice - Do they think our plans will change? 'Cause a warning of the obvious To me seems really strange. "If we tell 'em 'bout that traffic (And to hide it would be wrong), Maybe they'll decide the city Isn't where they do belong." Yet there's irony at play here 'Cause if everyone would heed it, Then there might just be no gridlock So we wouldn't really need it!
