Doomsday

The end
of the line is near
The CTA
says that its curtains

Doomsday

Eliminate the routes
and raise the fares
Cutting service
of this I'm certain

How can they
get away with this
And may I say
not in a nice way

The public will pay
They don't care anyway
And they call it
Doomsday

Regrets
I have a few
But not enough
To get their attention

To get to work
What will I do
Take a cab, go broke
And lose my pension

How can they
get away with this
And may I say
Not in a nice way

Have a nice day
That's what they say
And they call it
Doomsday

Mayor Daley
doesn't seem to care
He goes to work
in one of his limos

Governor Boyovich
takes a helicopter where he goes
Those legislators Downstate
All take the I-55 highway

The voters' sin
better start walkin'
And they call it
Doomsday

On the bus
I've laughed and cried
I've even tried
a little snoozin'

With cell phone yakkers
On both sides
Sleep is what
I was losin'

You think
I'll miss all that
Maybe not
On a Friday

Now it's all moot
They don't give a hoot
and they call it
Doomsday

A working man
What has he got
No bus, no train
Gee, thanks a lot

Hey Huberman
See how it feels
Try and get to work
without any wheels

The record shows
The CTA blows
And they call it
Doomsday

Settle this
who knows
when hell has froze
And they call it
Doomsday
