Surly each day as you step in your "Vette
You're in a big rush cause you're late
On the L.A. freeway you are getting upset
Cars stop and now you're irate

Go shout those bitter words, show how you swear
And you're so mad you could spew
And everyone's angry
You snarl like a bear
All it takes is traffic for you

Flip the bird
Traffic's a drag
Traffic, traffic
Traffic's a drag
Flip the bird
Show how you feel
While on the road
Protected by steel

All around the construction, the signs and the flaggers
Look "round for any way past
Although they don't see it, you know you are special
For you have a car that goes fast

Though these miles should not be this long
Pissin' pissin' and moaning is wrong
Flip the bird
Traffic's a drag
Traffic, traffic
Traffic's a drag
