lyrics

I don’t want to see that picture
I don’t want to think about that time
You know I once had lungs that could
Breathe oxygen relatively fine

I don’t want to see that picture
I don’t want to think about that time
I’ve got a lot going for me
I’ve got a lot to occupy my mind

I like to sit and drink my coffee
Watch the log trucks drive by slow
But I saw you there with your new girl
I decided to get my coffee to go

There's a bus that takes me here up to
The war zone off upper-central ave.
I’m usually the only white girl on it
I don’t think the city bus systems bad

In the rearview mirror
I watch the bus driver shake his head
He’s probably got all the problems in the world
Or he’s thinking I’m gonna wind up dead

I don’t know his morales
I don’t know who he sees at night
I don’t know what he considers black
Or what he considers light

Perhaps there was a time in his life
When he would need this song
Maybe when he’s driving the bus alone
He’d turn it up and he’d sing along

He’d sing I don’t want to see that picture
I don’t want to think about that time
You know I once had lungs that could
Breathe oxygen relatively fine

We don’t want to see that picture
We don’t want to think about that time
We’ve got a lot going for us
We’ve got a lot to occupy our minds

Yes we’ve got a lot going for us
We’ve got a lot to occupy our minds

Yes we’ve got a lot going for us
We’ve got a lot to occupy our minds
