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 criticize 
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 [bad word] 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
