lyrics

You're an old boy, I'm just a young man
Riding on the subway
And if you want a clean and efficient ride
You're at the mercy of the MTA

Oh I can see you, you can see me
Crying 'cross the car
Counting down the days 'til you die must be vundabar

Well if you want to be happy, worry and carefree
Don't you look at me
It's an unspoken rule, though it's unfair and cruel
I said don't you look at me

I was riding, glad and time-biding
Idle when your gaze met my view
You were young and small, so unscathed by all your life has in store for you

Well I was troubled by the stubble on your skin and face
When I saw you all alone
You make me wish I never made the grave mistake
of looking up from my phone

If you don't want to be filthy, unkempt or unclean
Be solitary
No, don't you touch a thing, be like a plastic king
Or you'll become the contrary

DON'T

Well if you want to be happy, worry and carefree
Don't you look at me
It's an unspoken rule, though it's unfair and cruel
I said don't you look at me
Well if you want to be happy, worry and carefree
Don't you look at me
It's an unspoken rule, though it's unfair and cruel
I said don't you look at don't you look at don't you look at me

(Ride, ride, just ride along
Watch some TV
Ride, ride, just ride along
Don't you look at, don't you look at, don't you look at me)

No social distancing
No social distancing
No social distancing
No social distancing at all
