'This one is somewhat different from the other lyrics, because it’s about getting irritated by motorists driving through a red light while driving in your car or on your bike or moped on a crossing lane through the green one. All rules are made to be broken, except for the rules in traffic. After I Hope You Die! had become the biggest hit on the first Ramirez tape, I decided to record it again for Reload Your Gun! because the song is one of the favourite sing alongs at Ramirez gigs, and has been the final song on the regular set list since Danny first started performing live on April 2, 1999. However, in a surprising turn of events after May 14, 2022, Freak Accident was temporarily removed from the set list, only to be played again live more regularly up from September 2023. The In Concert!-cd has a live version recorded on August 28, 2004.'
lyrics
Chorus:
I hope you die in a freak accident
I hope you die in a freak accident
Your life ain't worth shit
I've had enough of it
I hope you die in a freak accident
Your wheels have been running for much too long
Down the roads of life
But when you drive the country roads
It ain't hard to survive
Well, there will come a day or night
Your death car will arrive
And the highway you're on then
You won't leave alive
Chorus
You drive like crazy, you're lost in stress
You're running out of time
You're always late, yeah way too late
To see the traffic lights
Why would you stop if good for your car
And better for your life
Just drive on through, underneath a truck
You will be just fine
Chorus
