Det var lättare förr
                                                                        med bilarnas namn 
                                                                        och hur de såg ut.

                                                                        Man kunde skilja på 
                                                                        PV, 
                                                                        Volkswagen 
                                                                        och Saab.

                                                                        Saaben kunde man också
                                                                        känna igen på lukten
                                                                        och på motorns puttrande.

                                                                        Som Kaffepetter, sa någon,
                                                                        fast sämre än surrogat
                                                                        så illa som det luktade.

                                                                        Dom stora bilarna
                                                                        var amerikanare;
                                                                        Chrysler, Cadillac eller Dodge.

                                                                        Nu finns hundratals bilar
                                                                        som alla liknar varandra
                                                                        Samma form
                                                                        samma färg
                                                                        samma storlek -
                                                                        och alla gjorda i Asien

                                                                        Men med olika namn
