Sitting at a bus stop,
No reason but to people spy,
I pop a cough drop
Loosen my tie.

Then a man sits down,
I nod,
He has a frown,
What a clod.

“Never seen you here before.”
“Never been here before.”
“Waiting for the bus?”
“No, watching.”
“Why?”
“Because I can.”

Because I can do what I want,
Because I’m not you,
Because I can do it how I want,
Because I do.

Because I wear jeans,
Because I have a scar,
Because I have the means,
Because I don’t like that star.

Because that bird says so,
Because the sky is blue,
Because the wind is about to blow,
Because I do.

Because I’m young,
Because you’re old,
Because I have a tongue,
Because I’m bold.

Because I am,
Because you are,
Because I like spam,
Because I have a cigar.

Because because,
Because I buzz,
Because I have withdraws,
Because I does.
