lyrics

i was waiting for you as the train came rolling by
and people were strolling by, like they had nothing else to do
i was waiting for you, the express train was screaming by
and people might scream and cry, but they still have to work for their food

should we have to say we're sorry or write apologies in our rhetoric
should we say winners lose and losers win and let that be the end of it

i've been traveling lately, wondering where i'd like to be
somewhere that's really green, and the seasons come and go in fours
i've been traveling lately, looking for something new to see
a home for you and me, a place we can call ours

should i get a government job and live out my days overpaid and lazy
would you say we all get what we're worth and laissez faire is crazy

i would write you, mr. or mrs. senator, but that would justify your intentions and false virtue
i'll pay your salary till you're in your grave and even then i'll buy your magnificent statue

oh these trains tracks were built to go straight to your house, into your pocket
and it's nice to ride the rails but i shouldn't have to pay so much for it, twice
