Getting beat to get that seat is not my idea of how to start the day,

if I had my way
I'd be younger and **** a
spanner in his works,
but he's bigger than me
and I'm older than him by
about forty years.

Tears?
I've got none
fears
I've got many
a seat?
there aren't any
left.

It's not only the rich
that are idle,
not on the underground line
time after time I have spent my
time standing
and
nor one of them youngsters has
a thought of handing me a pew.

My thought is
*******.
one day you'll be stood
and I'll think
good

but it doesn't get me a seat
because he beat
me to it.
