Waiting For The Bus - Violent Femmes

We got the mother and her kids

We got the guy and his date

We all get mad

We all get late

Looks like somebody forgot about us

Standing on the corner, waiting for the bus

Say hey Mr. driver man, don’t be slow

Cause I got somewhere I gotta go

Say hey Mr. driver man, drive that thing fast

My precious time keeps slipping past

Let’s call the mayor, let’s complain

Looks like the city’s done it to us again

Tied up in traffic, what do you know

The damn city bus, it moves so slow

Say hey Mr. driver man, don’t be slow

Cause I got somewhere I gotta go

Say hey Mr. driver man, drive that thing fast

My precious time keeps slipping past

«Young man, your transfer’s expired.

Will you please pay full fare?»

«I just got this transfer!»

«Hey, can you open up the back door?»

«Either pay your 65 cents or you’ll have to leave the bus!»

«You gotta be kidding me!

I just got it!»

«Can you please open up the back door?!»

We got the mother and her kids

We got the guy and his date

We all get mad

We all get late

Looks like somebody forgot about us

Standing on the corner, waiting for the bus

Say hey Mr. driver man, don’t be slow

Cause I got somewhere I gotta go

Say hey Mr. driver man, drive that thing fast

My precious time keeps slipping past
