A walk to the bus stop anymore Is big trouble The way big steam ships pass by With a groan and a shudder Old men walk by On their stilts up so high Talking on horns that light up the sky
A pack of boys in black shorts Go running right by With glasses taped together They shoot at the sky With the single most dangerous Man made gun One pointer finger And one bendy thumb Yellow toothed smileys Try to sell you a deal Powders and diamonds That make your head reel But I ain't buyin' I've had enough I'm savings up To get myself out The stairs on the buildings all coiling and rusted The mold on the billboards molded and crusted Two big eyes And a glass bottle of coke Oh please please buy me Must be a joke Because I work hard for a penny a day And I'm saving each penny To run far far away
