State Ransit

The buses use to run
quite smoothly
until the pollies intervened
and caused a ruckus
now they are almost obscene.

Tell the pollies 
to go to hell.
If I want to catch a bus
I should be able to
without a fuss.

You need a ticket
now even just for
one ride home
down Lizbeth street
I'll be getting on the phone.

Where's your say
was I asked to vote
no one cares.
As soon as I say
they'll be upping the fares.

Tell me, what should the 
women do, standing solely
in the dark
missed the bus
guess she'll be sleeping in the park.

This state sucks
money and greed is their fuel
they don't care, cos their tools
the people are forgotten
they all need to go back to school
