His stop is always after yours   He never seems to leave   I heard him speak only once   You're standing on my foot (x2)      He never reads the paper   And state's lottery number is 5-8-3   I hope he doesn't look at you   Cause you'll have to pay the fare   If he looks at you      The man who rules the world   Rides the bus all day long   Staring out the window   Making things happen      All the lights turn green at once   And it begins to rain   Somewhere a TV changes channel   And angry words are spoken      The milk's gone bad   And the phone rings once and stops   A sign on the door says open   3000 miles   Time to change the oil (x2)      The man who rules the world   Rides the bus all day long   Staring out the window   Making things happen      The wind in the trees   Is the hardest part   And he loses sleep at night   He closes his eyes   And counts to ten   And hopes it turns out alright   Alright (x7)      The man who rules the world   Rides the bus all day long   Staring out the window   Making things happen      Bullets hit their mark   And the screaming never stops   All systems go   Lights out   Everyone goes to sleep      The man who rules the world   Rides the bus all day long   Staring out the window   Making things happen (x5)
