When Horsepower Meant What It Said Lyrics - Smile It Confuses People - Sandi Thom

Caught in a gridlock, nose to tail across all lanes 

Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane 

'Cause they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs 

Carrying the human race proudly on their backs 

How easily forgotten 

How easily we're led 

How hard the path is trodden 

From when horsepower meant what it said 

I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels 

But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the field 

Because they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs 

Carrying the human race proudly on their backs 

And how easily forgotten 

How easily we're led 

How hard the path is trodden 

From when horsepower meant what it said 

So if we're keeping up with progress 

Why am I standing still? 

Maybe we should take a walk and talk 

To the horses on the hill 

And how easily forgotten 

How easily we're led 

How hard the path is trodden 

From when horsepower meant what it said 

How hard the path is trodden 

From when horsepower meant what it said
