Bad boys at the back of the bus,

They’re kicking up a storm,

They’re kicking up a fuss about something,

That you know you never did,

This is something a kid should never witness

What’s this, cat’s got your tongue,

Left right pocket he brandishes a gun,

Is it a fake one, well who could ever tell?

As you wish to god, you’d be saved by the stop bell

Conductor or CCTV,

But no one’s out there who’s willing to help me,

In this what is my one time of need,

Thoughts spinning, kicking up a speed

Is this what free travel costs?

A phone and a wallet and a new iPod

Your grace and your last shreds of dignity

Are thrown away as you begin to plead

For what you believe could be your life or your teeth

Your love or your money or your wife to be

There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek

Why did you do this to me?

It’s a sad sorry state of affairs

Looking there and everywhere for someone who cares

Someone to be there and see

I’ve nowhere to go

But to go where the flowers grow

Live among the garden stones

There’s nowhere for this boy

to roam

Bad boys with toy guns

On the last train in the setting sun

Make up for one long

walk home

Is this what free travel costs?

A phone and a wallet and a new iPod

Your grace and your last shreds of dignity

Are thrown away as you begin to plead

For what you believe could be your life or your teeth

Your love or your money or your wife to be

There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek

Why did you do this to me?

Is this what free travel costs?

A phone and a wallet and a new iPod

Your grace and your last shreds of dignity

Are thrown away as you begin to plead

For what you believe could be your life or your teeth

Your love or your money or your wife to be

There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek

Why did you do this to me?
