 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?
 x4
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?
 x4
 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?
