Whiplash caught the silver son
  Took the film to No. I
  Crashed the car and left us here
  Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
  Crashed the car and left us here.
    And daddy burned a million eyes
  Dared the dogs to criticise
  He crashed the car and I was born
    And daddy turned a million heads
  Took the teenage dream to bed
  He crashed the car and left us here
    With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
  Green fields of destiny high in the sky
  But oh can you see him?
  Oh Daddy's speeding
    Whiplash caught the silver son
  Killed the sad American
  Crashed the car and left us here
    And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
  Come with me now it's your time
  Let's crash the car and I'll be born
    And sorrow breaks the silent day
  Takes the teenage boys away
  They crash the cars and leave us here
    With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
  Green fields and death machines high in the sky
    But oh can you see him?
  Oh, when Daddy's speeding
