The other song I knew/know is called "Down in the Park"
All 3 of the tracks I knew came out in '79. I was in my early teens. I distinctly remember in Boy Scouts on a 50 mile canoe trip down the American River, at a stop in Tahama (or Colusa?). I think we were camping at a KOA campground. Pete Donahue, probably KB, tho I can't recall, me, and several others were hanging out in the playground at dusk, on some kind of jungle gym. I remember Cars came on the radio and it was a really really striking song. So different.

The other song I knew/know is called "Down in the Park"
Quote:Down in the park
Where the mach-men meet the machines
And play 'kill-by-numbers'
Down in the park with a friend called five
I was in a car crash
Or was it the war
But I've never been quite the same
Little white lies like I was there
Come to "Zom-Zom's", a place to eat
Like it was built in one day
You can watch the humans
Trying to run
Oh look there's a rape machine
I'd go outside if he'd look the other way
You wouldn't believe
The things they do
Down in the park
Where the chant is "death, death, death"
Until the sun cries morning
Down in the park with friends of mine
We are not lovers
We are not romantics
We are here to serve you
A different face but the words never change
