Road Signs

If there were better signs along the road
Less people would get lost.
You complain to the Government
But hear nothing in reply.
No one ever said this life
Was a Democracy.
But wouldn't it be nice
To have a little
Representation for what taxes us?
Yeah, I know what you're going to say,
But I've been in the ditch too many times
To drive with my eyes shut anymore.
All you have to do is pull over
To the emergency lane a few times
And see the look in the faces of those
Who have no idea where to go next
To reinterpret the directions that come
So easily from the maps they gave us.
Just one real good sign would be enough.
But maybe that's too much to ask,
When you're white knuckle staring
Down an empty road.
