Lyrics
A young man
with watery eyes and an imbalance
took a ride on the cross-town bus
To the back
always to the back asking…
“Do you know where a pawn shop is?
Where can I find a shop?
I need to get a twenty-two.
I need to get at a twenty-two rifle or pistol.
Cause I’ve decided,
if I’m going to die in misery!
I want everyone to die,
in misery too!
And that’s the way I feel about it!
We’re talking the program!
The whole program sister!”
Everyone sat there
and listened to the man’s desperate ramble
To the back
always to the back
Talking the program
The whole program sister!
The young man
with watery eyes and a stumbled walk
decided his ride was over
Stating “I want off this bus!
I want off here and I want off now!”
Someone says “Go for it!
You need some help!”
We’re talking the program!
The whole program sister!
I need a forty-five!
I need to get at a AR-15!
The whole program sister
The whole program sister
