There was an accident today  One that occured downtown  One that no one could believe  And it didn't make any sense  According to the witnesses    Two cars were racing down the road  Towards eachother's hearts  Across eachother's path  And they collided in a way that made them inseperable    And wouldn't you say this was  A sequence of events  Described in words of rhetoric?     Waiting to become something that matters  Something that matters    Reporters clambored to the scene  In competition for the headline of the day  And they traded out their dignity for the cover of a magazine    So let us dedicate this day  To the disaster that always will remain  On the storyboards and news reports  And photographs that line the walls    And wouldn't you say this was  A sequence of events  Described in words of rhetoric?     Waiting to become something that matters  Something that matters    Shattered glass spreads in reflections  Our futures are through    And wouldn't you say this was  A sequence of events  Described in words of rhetoric?
