Lyrics Violent Femmes

Violent Femmes

Waiting for the Bus

We got the mother and the kids

We got the guy and his date

We all get mad

We all get laid

Looks like somebody forgot about us

Standin' on the corner

Waitin' for a bus

Say, "Hey Mister Driver Man

Don't be slow

'Cause I got somewhere I got to go"

Say, "Hey Mister Driver Man

Drive that thing fast

My precious time keep slippin' past"

Let's call the mayor, let's complain

Looks like the city's done to us again

Tied up in traffic, what do you know?

The damn city bus moves so slow

I said, "Hey Mister Driver Now Man

Don't be slow

'Cause I got somewhere I got to go"

Say, "Hey Mister Driver Man

Drive that thing fast

My precious time keep slippin' past"

{Young man your transfer's expired

Would you please pay a full fare?

I just got this transfer

Hey can you open up the back door?

Either you pay your 65 cents

Or you'll have to leave the bus

You got to be kidding me, I just got it

Would you please open up the back door?}

We got the mother and the kids

We got the guy and his date

We all get mad

We all get laid

Looks like somebody forgot about us

Standin' on the corner

Waitin' for a bus

Say, "Hey Mister Driver Man

Don't be slow

'Cause I got somewhere I got to go"

Say, "Hey Mister Driver Man

Drive that thing fast

My precious time keep slippin' past"
