Lyrics
My face is buried inside a book
Engaging in reading, possibly seeking distraction or escape.
Everybody's wearing a haggard look
Observing tired or worn-out expressions on others.
The sirens scream, a baby cries
Highlighting the chaotic and distressing sounds of the environment.
Everyday on this bus I ride
Expressing the routine of daily life spent commuting on a bus.
There's a man to my left
Describing a person with a missing hand sitting nearby.
Who's got a stump for a hand
Portraying a person with an amputated hand.
I'm staring into a giant cyst
Witnessing an abnormal growth (cyst) on someone's face.
Growing on the face of a Chinese man
Specifically describing a facial abnormality on a Chinese man.
Reality is a ride on the bus
Suggesting that the mundane experience of bus travel reflects reality.
The mongoloid is in the back
Referring to a person with Down syndrome at the back of the bus.
He's having his snot for lunch
Metaphorically describing peculiar or unappetizing behavior.
There's a loud mouth sitting next to me
Highlighting the presence of a loud and irritating person nearby.
The one that everybody wants to punch
Identifying an individual who is generally disliked or provocative.
Reality is a ride on the bus
Reemphasizing the central theme that the bus ride symbolizes reality.
So hop on board and step inside
Inviting others to join and experience the shared bus journey.
This sardine can on wheels we'll ride
Depicting the bus as a cramped and uncomfortable space on wheels.
