I’m second in line at the intersection,
The traffic light turns green.
The car ahead just sits there.
I guess it must’ve gone unseen.
I give my horn a gentle tap,
Politely as I could.
And out steps a raving lunatic
With a big ol’ stick of wood.
He banged out some morse code
On my hood with a vicious beat.
The message he relayed to me,
I’d rather not repeat.
Well, I’ve been told this sort of thing
Is happening every day.
Seems to be the latest craze
Across the USA.
It’s all the rage on the road
From Detroit to San Antone.
All the rage up and down
The Boulevard of Broken Bones.
All the rage on the interstates
From sea to shining sea.
Someday soon it’s gonna trigger
All the rage in me.
I’m zippin’ down the highway
Faster than the laws allow.
But the fool behind me thought
That wasn’t fast enough, somehow.
He got up on my bumper,
So, of course, I slowed the pace.
He followed me to where I live
And rearanged my face.
You flash your brights in self-defense
To keep from going blind.
You just assume the other driver
Has a stable mind.
Well, life is one big gamble,
And today, my friend, you loose.
This guy’s a human powder keg
And you just lit the fuse.
It’s all the rage on the road
From Detroit to San Antone.
All the rage up and down
The Boulevard of Broken Bones.
All the rage on the interstates
From sea to shining sea.
Someday soon it’s gonna trigger
All the rage in me.
Don’t suffer through the school
Of hard knocks to learn your lesson.
Get yourself a sign that says,
“PROTECTED BY SMITH AND WESSON”
Roll up all your windows,
Guard yourself against attack.
And never fight the traffic
‘Cause it just might fight you back.
It’s all the rage on the road
From Santa Fe to New Rochelle.
All the rage at the truck stops
On the highway to Hell.
All the rage on the interstates
From sea to shining sea.
Someday soon it’s gonna trigger
All the rage in me.
Yeah, someday soon it’s gonna trigger
(This urge to kill is getting bigger!)
Someday soon it’s gonna trigger
All the rage in me
