I am not my car
I am not my car
You may think my car’s a major
statement of identity
but I am not my car.

Oli drives a Tesla
It is an investment
Not a statement
about the planet
Cause he is not his car.

I am not my car
I am not my car
You may think my car’s

A way to find out who I am
but I am not my car.

Diana drives a hybrid
It is lipstick pink
It’s cause she likes the colour
not a statement about her
Cause she is not her car.

I am not my car
I am not my car
You may think my car’s

A way to find out who I am
but I am not my car.

Mitchell drives a ute
Cockpit like a spaceship
All the space for tools and thing
Not a statement about him
Cause he is not his car

I am not my car
I am not my car
You may think my car’s

A way to find out who I am
but I am not my car.

Phil he drives a truck
It runs on diesel fine
It’s practical for a park ranger
Not a statement about him
Cause he is not his car

I am not my car
I am not my car
You may think my car’s

A way to find out who I am
but I am not my car.

I just drive a Yaris
It’s old but does the job
It is quite convenient
Not a statement about me
Cause I am not my car.
