mc jazzy jeff - people on the subway lyrics

[verse 1]
people pushin’, shovin’, almost huggin’
fighting for a seat how they be buggin’
lookin’ like nuts, carrying cups
it’s just too much
i’m about to give up
now oh no, that’s right
i can’t take it no more
because the fares too high and i’m too poor
so you can say what you say
talk-talk what you talk
but if you ask me i’d rather walk!

[chorus]
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (yes, they do!)
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (yes, they do!)

[verse 2]
well, people ride the train each and every day
hoping and praying for a better way
some want to fight
they must think it’s fun
now bernhard goetz, he had to carry a gun
so don’t ride the trains actin’ like a fool
because life is hard and all of that ain’t cool
now lord knows it’s a shame, the way you ride a train
sitting next to a person that looks insane
try to be strong don’t take it so hard
the truth is proof, think about bernhard!

[chorus]
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (yes, they do!)
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (yes, they do!)

[verse 3]
new york
7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
subway train, they’re full of bums
i mean sleeping in the phone booths
begging for a dime
the dirt, the smell’s about to blow my mind
we got the president, governor, down to the mayor
the people with the power won’t do nothing for ya
life on the subway ain’t so easy
it’s like h-ll you better believe me
ninety cents ain’t that too much?
wanna hear the scoop? it’s goin’ nuts!
now i’m telling the truth and everything’s a fact
the man lost his mind and jumped on the tracks
so use your head, don’t be [?]
when you ride the train, think of what i said!

[chorus]
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (oh yes, they do!)
hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?)
people love the subway (oh yes, they do!)

[verse 4]
so watch your back and then you better stay ready
(hugging day by day (who?) you! (who?))
people pickin’ pockets doing things that way
(people love the subway (oh yes, they do!))
now i’m about to go get off this train
before it’s too late and destroy my brain!
hugging day by day (who?) you you you you you! (who?)
people love the subway (now yes, they do!)

[outro]
watch myself
on the train
people you
do the same
i’m gonna
watch myself
on the train
people you
do the same
i’m gonna
watch myself
on the train
people you
do the same
let’s watch ourselves
on the train
