Bad boys at the back of the bus,
They’re kicking up a storm,
They’re kicking up a fuss about something,
That you know you never did,
This is something a kid should never witness
What’s this, cat’s got your tongue,
Left right pocket he brandishes a gun,
Is it a fake one, well who could ever tell?
As you wish to god, you’d be saved by the stop bell

F#m                
Conductor or CCTV,
A
But no one’s out there who’s willing to help me,
E
In this what is my one time of need,
B
Thoughts spinning, kicking up a speed


F#m
Is this what free travel costs?
A
A phone and a wallet and a new iPod
E
Your grace and your last shreds of dignity
B
Are thrown away as you begin to plead
F#m
For what you believe could be your life or your teeth
A
Your love or your money or your wife to be
E
There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek
B
Why did you do this to me?


F#5      E5      A5     B5    F#5       x4

F#m
It’s a sad sorry state of affairs
A
Looking there and everywhere for someone who cares
E
Someone to be there and see 
B
I’ve nowhere to go
F#m
But to go where the flowers grow
A
Live among the garden stones
E
There’s nowhere for this boy 
B
to roam

F#m
Bad boys with toy guns
A
On the last train in the setting sun
E
Make up for one long 
B
walk home


F#m
Is this what free travel costs?
A
A phone and a wallet and a new iPod
E
Your grace and your last shreds of dignity
B
Are thrown away as you begin to plead
F#m
For what you believe could be your life or your teeth
A
Your love or your money or your wife to be
E
There’s answers to questions you’ll forever seek
B
Why did you do this to me?

F#5   E5   A5   B5   F#5       x4
