Waiting For The Bus
Violent Femmes
Letra

You got the mother and her kids,
You 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 a bus.

Say, "hey mr. driverman...don't be slow,
'cause i got somewhere i gotta go."
Say, "hey mr. driverman...drive that thing fast,
My precious time keeps slippin' past.

Let's call the mayor,
Let's complain.
It look's like the city's done it to us again.
Tied up in traffic - what do ya' know?
The damn city bus moves so slow.

Driver: young man your transfers expired would you please pay full fair?
Dude: i just got this transfer.
Other dude: hey, could you open up the back door?
Driver: either pay your 65 cents or you'll have to leave the bus.
Dude: you gotta be kidding me - i just got it!
Other dide: would you please open up the back door?!?
You got the mother and her kids,
You 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 a bus.

Say, "hey mr. driverman...don't be slow,
'cause i got somewhere i gotta go."
Say, "hey mr. driverman...drive that thing fast,
My precious time keeps slippin' past.
