Fourpenny Bus Ride Lyrics - The Police

In...an age...when peeeeeople say,..."I...can't face...another day." 

A fourpenny bus ride can take 

one hour away 

out of his life 

'Cause Johnny's a worker; 

he works from nine to five 

and home to the wife 

From his boring day 

he is far away...

The same little bus ride 

provides him with a way 

to face his day 

From Tooting to Chiswick, 

his mind is free to roam 

far from his home 

In the land of smiles 

he rides for miles and miles... 

He looks out the window 

and dreams of days in the past 

he knew wouldn't last 

The standing conductor is there, 

asks him for his fare 

and gives him a stare 

Millions every day 

have to get away...

So take a fourpenny bus ride to where 

people don't stare 

or get in your hair 

There' a million and one things to be 

when you learn how 

to be free 

Living day to day, 

each must find his way...
