Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If this is public transportation
What are you doin' here?
Royalty and people like thee
Should queue up in the rear
[Verse 2]
My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode, yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road
[Verse 3]
This is a sticky situation
It will require a measure of tact
We just don't like to mix it with you all
It's a cultural fact
[Verse 4]
My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode, yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road
[Verse 5]
This is a clean up job
Everybody grab a mop
You wanna further your position
Well look what floats on top, on top, yeah
[Verse 6]
Now, there's class and then there's class
But we're above all that
The butcher and the baker and the thief and the witch
And the aristocrat
[Verse 7]
My patience has worn thin
My tires are going to explode, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every time I try to get close to you
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
[Verse 8]
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
You throw nails in the road
[Verse 9]
Throw nails in the road
Yeah
