Hip-checked and smothered on this crowded train
Bad breath and armpits, the cloud in my face
Too tired and hungry to even complain
Manspreading blue jeans invading my space
Bad breath and armpits, the cloud in my face
Don’t talk to ME, I don’t want to know YOU
Manspreading blue jeans invading my space
Clanging and coughing the train muddles through
Don’t talk to ME, I don’t want to know YOU
Happy fascistic ads surveil the quai
Clanging and coughing the train muddles through
One more warm body once more in the way
Happy fascistic ads surveil the quai
Avoiding all contact, eyes down, stroll apace
One more warm body once more in the way
Following footsteps till mine are erased.
