about

The inspiration for Racer came while reading an article about Iranian female race car drivers. They describe their anger towards the system and the constant struggle against patronization. Their stories revolve around the self-weakening of their country, as women are prevented from fulfilling their potential. You need two legs to go far, two hands to hold on and two shoulders to carry it all.

lyrics

Racer

Traffic jam on the boulevard
She´s like a vision
Shades, lipstick, overall suit
In a race car
A few more miles to black market place
She can smell the gasoline
Her favorite perfume it has always been

She´s all touch-and-go
Never take it slow
Down in the motordrome
Is where she feels that rush
Them bumper chaser try to disgrace her
But she´s a racer
Yes she is!

In the mountains she does her laps
Between the rocks
In the heat, in the dust
Against the clock
Sometimes she gets carried out to far
She doesn´t mind the dents and bruises
The one or other battle scar

She´s all touch-and-go
Never take it slow
Down in the motordrome
Is where she feels that rush
Them bumper chaser try to disgrace her
But she´s a racer

Stop signs everywhere she goes
She understood soon how the wind blows
it´s in your face!
But one day she had cut her strings
To take a leap, unfold her wings
If you go all in, life won´t keep back
Her road to happiness is black

She´s all touch-and-go
Never take it slow
Down in the motordrome
Is where she feels that rush
Them bumper chaser try to disgrace her
But she´s a racer

She´s all touch-and-go
Never take it slow
Down in the motordrome
Is where she feels that rush
Them bumper chaser try to disgrace her
But she´s a racer
Yes she is!
