Keeping The Curtains Closed

He's been waiting for the bus to come, been waiting there since 3 
And when it comes around he will be as happy as a boy can be 
But people worry about each other 
Some even worry about me 
And so he stands at the busstop at the back of the line 
And there's too many people and there's not enough time 
So now he's keeping the curtains closed 

He was waiting for the revolution to rumble down his street 
'Coz when it came around 
He was sure that we'd all get enough to eat 

But at the busstop he's still on that line 
And there's too many people and there's not enough time 
So he's keeping the curtains closed 

And there's no point asking what went wrong 
Nothing as far as I can see 
He just stood there at the busstop at the back of the line 
And there were too many people; there was not enough time 
And now he's keeping the curtains closed 
He's just keeping the curtains closed 
He's just keeping the curtains closed 
He's just keeping the curtains closed
