His stop is always after yours

He never seems to leave

I heard him speak only once

You're standing on my foot (x2)



He never reads the paper

And state's lottery number is 5-8-3

I hope he doesn't look at you

Cause you'll have to pay the fare

If he looks at you



The man who rules the world

Rides the bus all day long

Staring out the window

Making things happen



All the lights turn green at once

And it begins to rain

Somewhere a TV changes channel

And angry words are spoken



The milk's gone bad

And the phone rings once and stops

A sign on the door says open

3000 miles

Time to change the oil (x2)



The man who rules the world

Rides the bus all day long

Staring out the window

Making things happen



The wind in the trees

Is the hardest part

And he loses sleep at night

He closes his eyes

And counts to ten

And hopes it turns out alright

Alright... (x7)



The man who rules the world

Rides the bus all day long

Staring out the window

Making things happen



Bullets hit their mark

And the screaming never stops

All systems go

Lights out

Everyone goes to sleep



The man who rules the world

Rides the bus all day long

Staring out the window

Making things happen

(x5)
