A (with main riff x2)
London traffic - state of confusion
London traffic - blocking the streets
London traffic - going nowhere
London traffic - polluting our air
Drive round London in a car, don't really want to go far.
So many cars fill the streets, wonder why we bother at all.
London traffic is a problem
London traffic too many cars
One way systems look very neat
Coloured signs direct the streets
(main riff x2)
No-one knows the answer, no-one seems to care,
Take a look at the city, take the traffic elsewhere.
Leave the city free from traffic, give the place a chance to survive.
Dirt and filth cover London, give it a chance to breathe again.
