lyrics

Fuck your car, I ride metro ‘til the tram stops,
Rain delayed and trains are late cos some fucking jackoff,
Threw himself on the tracks, stopped traffic,
For the last 4 hours, now I’m late for class, with a mad prof,
German dude who thinks being late’s the worst thing since the second world war, which is ironic,
Cos this train feels like it’s about to make a gas stop,
That’s not particularly politically correct, but I’m that squashed,
Sardines in a black box,
Like a fishy dark chick’s vag, not nice, holy crap,
Five minutes ‘til we’re moving, can you back off,
Mr. Black Suit and Tie, moving by, trying to hit the platform,
Mate, you’re unhappy, but we’re all in the same spot,
In the same hot train not gonna move faster, if you ask the pleb driver why the tram’s stopped,
Fan’s not working, where’s all the air con gone,
And I’m stuck next to the world’s biggest crackpot,
Damn what’s the wait, I have not got exams what if I did, IDIOT,
I need a car ‘cos cabs cost, way too much to get to the exam hall,
Sam swore, he’s never again, getting on no public transport,

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride

Ticket inspector in my face, like can I see your ticket please,
I was 23 minutes delayed, are you kidding me?
Concession card, myki pass, wait here for a minute ‘jeez’,
I’m only fifteen minutes delayed, and there’s still at least,
A 5 minute walk to get out, then there’s about,
A twelve minute ride up to Uni, lecture’s around a three minute jog from the stop,
You’re stressing me out,
I’ve still got to fight for a seat on the tram with the rest of the crowd,
This is not validated, are you serious cunt?
It’s a fucking pass, there’s credit ‘til the end of the month,
I have ‘til May 21, maybe it’s just the machine’s fault,
They’re three weeks old, and I never have once,
Fare evaded, check the record, I know they keep it at HQ,
This is why every regular citizen hates you,
Language will get you nowhere, I can quote it in a court of law,
You are not a cop, dickhead, what you acting like a copper for,
You failed high school, that’s what those fuckwit tatts are for,
Too weak to be a bouncer and too dumb to be a janitor,
Just give me my licence and concession, I’ll be on my way I bet,
You’ll report me to the office but I ain’t paying them a cent

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride

WROTE ME A NEW HIT LIST

I've just lost patience completely with Melbourne public transport
So you know what I did? *I wrote me a new hit list*

*I wrote me a new wrote me a new wrote me a new hit list* Uggh
Peter Mulder, public transport minister, *your names on it cos we got unfinished business* *wrote me a new wrote me a new hit list* yeaah yeaaah uggh
Who else? lin cosky the old one *your names on it* You know why? *cos we got unfinished business* uggggh

I can't take that shit

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride

So put your hands in the air if you can’t hold em by your side,
‘Cos the carriage too packed and we’re swaying side to side,
Hold your breath, wouldn’t bet that we’ll all make it out alive,
Nod your head, watch your step, cos we’re all in for the ride
