The motor car is sullen like a thing that should not be	A
The motor car is master of Smart Society	A
Twas born of sweated genius and collared by a clown	B
Twas planned by Retribution to ride its riders down	B
And straight for Caesar s Column	C
It runs to Caesar s Column	C
Last section Caesar s Column	C
To ride its riders down	B
	-
The motor car is shame struck for greed and misery	A
For mad and hopeless self lust and the sins that need not be	A
The motor car is vicious for its conscience makes it so	D
It aye would smash the victims while it runs the riders low	D
And straight for Caesar s Column	C
Its goal is Caesar s Column	C
It longs for Caesar s Column	C
To lay its riders low	D
	-
The motor car is maddened like a horse that s had a fright	E
The shameful day behind it and the Coming of the Night	E
It flees across the country and it flees back to the town	B
And straight for Caesar s Column to run its riders down	B
And straight for Caesar s Column	C
What ho for Caesar s Column	C
Hurrah for Caesar s Column	C
To seal its riders down	B
	-
The motor car is reckless like a gambler losing fast	F
The motor car s in terror of the Future and the Past	F
The motor car is worn out and has passed Sin s boundary by	G
And is bound for Caesar s Column where to pile its riders high	G
It s bound for Caesar s Column	C
And marked for Caesar s Column	C
And doomed for Caesar s Column	C
To pile its riders high	G
	-
The motor car is brainless and scornful of all tears	H
Its dust is in our faces its giggle in our ears	I
Its harsh laugh is the last laugh of the last lost soul alone	J
Tis nearing Caesar s Column to set self damned in stone	J
Change here for Caesar s Column	C
All out for Caesar s Column	C
Past Hope and Caesar s Column	C
To lodge self damned in stone	J
	-
I don t know how twill happen or when twill come to pass	K
But folk shall yet pass sanely by river tree and grass	K
By homesteads and farm wagons they ll ride each pleasant mile	L
And back from Caesar s Column where the world went mad awhile	L
And back from Caesar s Column	C
With lessons from the Column	C
Grown sane at Caesar s Column	C
To save the world awhile	L
