(2001)"Moto Psycho" ( sample (help·info)) is the lead single off Megadeth's ninth studio album The World Needs a Hero. The song is about people who commute every day to and from work, ending up spending a long time on the road:
"'Moto Psycho' is a traffic song, basically about a guy who gets up and goes to work and comes home, gets up and goes to work and comes home, and spends half his day on the road and the other half of his day working or sleeping. A human hamster wheel." (Mustaine, 2001) [1]
