Don't Get on the Bus

Okay, so before you totally think I'm on drugs, let me explain the story behind this song to you. I was at a concert, and the band we were watching was pretty good... until the girl started to sing "You're so dangerous", which was a good half of the song. Except, I thought she was saying "Don't get on the bus", so I was like WTF is this girl doing? I turned to my friends Braden and Sorine and was like "Is she kidding?!?! Don't get on the bus?", and they explained as best as they could while laughing their heads off that I had heard wrong. On our way home, we all decided it would be the best thing ever if we wrote a song that said "Don't get on the bus" a lot of times, and here it is. Braden and I are contemplating using a synth in this song, and possibly adding a clapping bridge. Also, Sorine's sister, Whitney, wanted to get in on the action, so I put her name in the second verse. Hahaha we're very cool, I know.

Don't Get on the Bus


I'm running away
From this second-rate town
I've got my bags packed,
I'm finally moving out

But an old man stops me
And says
"I have some words of advice
They'll change your life
They'll change your life."

Don't get on the bus
Public transport is not a place for us
We want finer things
Like taxicabs and planes and cars
To help us get to near or far
No matter who you think you are
Just turn around
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus

Don't get on the bus

So I roll my eyes
And move on through the crowd
"What a crackhead"
I think to myself

But then Whitney stops me
And says
"I have some words of advice
They'll change your life
They'll change your life"

Don't get on the bus
Public transport is not a place for us
We want finer things
Like taxicabs and planes and cars
To help us get to near or far
No matter who you think you are
Just turn around
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus
Don't get on the bus

Don't get on the bus


Why can't I get on the bus?
It doesn't look too dangerous
Why can't I get on the bus?
Why?

Why can't I get on the bus?
It doesn't look too dangerous
Why can't I get on the bus?
WHY?!?!?!


(insert possible clapping bridge)

I got on the bus and I died.
