I hate the bus
I want my own car 
A car with a heater 
I want a TV set and more 
A big old house 

Like this one
But everything new
And cant nobody ever
Can't nobody ever tell me what to do 

Go out when I want to
When I don't then I stay
Got magical bracelets
Some bullets bound someway

In every room a TV and my own telephone 
And ill live in my house 
And ill live in my house by myself all alone
And if I'm lonely it doesn't matter

I think there worse than being lonely
There's people who freeze while they wait on their knees
And they don't know for what 
And they just been forgotten

I aint waiting no more 
You just wait forever 
If you cant say what for 
The day comes soon 

Ill pack up the nothing I own
And ill live in my house
And ill make it ok by myself
All alone
