[verse 1] They're chatting in the fast lane They're texting in the right We're stuck on multi-tasking Without an end in sight. Our hands are on the wheel But we're a thousand miles away So busy contemplating All the stuff we've got to say! Shut up and drive! Shut up and drive! You know deep down it's really true And I ain't talkin' jive. I think we'd all be safer Might even stay alive! This world would be much better If we'd all shut up and drive! [verse 2] You'll see 'em doing rolling stops And swerving in the lane Oblivious to what's around Those cell phones are to blame! And to a lone pedestrian What a scarey sight to see: A busy, chatting soccer mom Turning left in an SUV! Shut up and drive! Shut up and drive! You know deep down it's really true And I ain't talkin' jive. I think we'd all be safer Might even stay alive! This world would be much better If we'd all shut up and drive! [verse 3] What on earth did we ever do 'Fore cell phones came our way? How did we ever get things done And make it through the day? When we actually paid attention To the things that we had planned Instead of being captive To that noise-box in our hand! Shut up and drive! Shut up and drive! You know deep down it's really true And I ain't talkin' jive. I think we'd all be safer Might even stay alive! This world would be much better If we'd all shut up and drive! [verse 4] So if you're driving past me With that cell phone in your hand And you see me mumbling something That you cannot understand Well, let me make it simple It's not so hard to do It's just a piece of sage advice I'm offering to you... Shut up and drive! Shut up and drive! You know deep down it's really true And I ain't talkin' jive. I think we'd all be safer Might even stay alive! This world would be much better If we'd all shut up and drive!
