On The Train

Janis Ian

When I was on the train I said,
I said I always like
to see the sun one day
Would you please
take up the shade?

Mr. President,
his face went red
and he said -- Kid
you should have come
before I came
Would you please
remove your face

I'm on the train
and I'm trying
to make it away
On the train
They keep on trying
to make me ashamed
So many funny
people in life today
