lyrics

I stand on the bus stop
You push in and you shove
You’ve got your rights, you must come first
You’re driven by self-love
You may see me as ordinary
But you will be deceived
I’m full of gall, I’ll kill you all
I cannot be relieved

Go on now, seal your fate now
Make a prize prick of yourself
Go on now, shortchange me one more time
It only adds to the payoff that inevitably comes

While the waitress slops my tea
I put her to the question
And as she makes mallocchio
I think of racks and pinions
As the driver grinds the gears that drag the
bus along
I think of how psychiatrists
Will drug him when I’m strong.

I hate being careful and polite
I’d rather not be obliged
No more Mr Nice Guy now
Wipe you right out of my life

Go on now, seal your fate now
Make a prize prick of yourself
Go on now, shortchange me one more time
It only adds to the payoff that inevitably comes

I am a secret cardinal, a Pope of Avignon
A hanging judge that bore a grudge
A misanthropic son
I am a shadow minister, a devil of Loudun
All that was there is now and here
Beneath the sulphur sun

I hate being careful and polite
I’d rather not be obliged
No more Mr Nice Guy now
Wipe you right out of my life

Go on now, seal your fate now
Make a prize prick of yourself
Go on now, shortchange me one more time
It only adds to the payoff that inevitably comes
