Verse 1 – 0:11 – 0:35

Riff starts
Another Wednesday morning on the train to work
And my weekend’s spread into the middle of the week

Riff starts
I’m boosing every night, 3 hours sleep
Check out the people or stare at my feet

Riff starts
Guy next to me pretends to read the metro
Sort of bloke who calls everybody bro

Riff starts
But only met a black guy at uni tho
And a lady with a kid watchin sum guy meet the train

2nd Verse – 1:11 – 1:47

Riff starts
A young Asian guy with a rucksack on his back
Jumps onto the tube is he ready to attack?

Riff starts
God just imagine it being all over
Stuck in the tube with nowhere to go

Riff starts
All the smoke and confusion
Stuck in mist all coughing

Riff starts                                  and stops
The man with the paper he moves from his seat
Why did that kid stand so close to me?

Riff starts
I’m sick of them moaning that they’re being picked on
But its them running round with the bombs

Riff starts
So grab the kids leave London town
Join a white flight to Surrey and beyond

Riff:

only play first half for “man with the paper” bit)

Then no guitar until the end of the rap which is :

These people are assuming who I am, but they’re wrong
Got a beard and a bag so they think I’ve got a bomb
I saw everyone’s reaction soon as I stepped through the door
All acting like they’ve never seen a brown person before
The guy in front of me he should be reading his paper
I’m checking my watch cos there’s an interview I’m gonna be late for
Every time I step on the tube there’s a dude in his suit
Who aint got no manners, doesn’t he know staring is rude?
And if you’re so scared move, I’m off at the next stop mate
Just keep staring.

Chorus – 2:52 – 3:17

   D        Bm           D       Bm
Suspicious eyes, looking for the end (got a ticket but I aint got time)
   D        Bm           D       Bm
Suspicious eyes, looking for the end (got a ticket but I aint got time)
