Pretenders - Nails In The Road lyrics

If this is public transportation

What are you doing here?

Royalty and people like thee

Should queue up in the rear

My patience has worn thin

My tyres are gonna explode

Yeah, yeah

Every time I try to get close to you

You throw nails in the road

This is a sticky situation

Will require a measure of tact

We just don't like to mix it with you all

It's a cultural fact

My patience has worn thin

My tyres are gonna explode

Yeah, yeah

Every time I try to get close to you

You throw nails in the road

This is a clean up job

Everybody grab a mop

You wanna further your position

Well look what floats on top

On top

Well there's class and then there's class

But we're above all that

The butcher and the baker and the thief and the witch

And the aristocrat

My patience has worn thin

My tyres are gonna explode

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Every time I try to get close to you

You throw nails in the road...
