lyrics

The old lady on my bus took one long look at me and huffed
One long sigh of disapproval while she ate her apple strudel
My tattoos did quite offend her my haircut enough to send her
Off the deep end for a lecture to tell me how it affects her
“You’ll regret those when yr older” and at that time if I’d felt bolder I’d respond
And you’ll regret being so rude and ignorant
You don’t have to make me feel bad just because I make you feel mad
And I won’t partake in your debate, to hear about those things you hate
Old lady you don’t know me and you certainly don’t owe me
An ounce of yr minds interior to make me feel inferior
I’ve done nothing to upset you only wish I hadn’t met you
On this bus, cuz can’t you see I just wanna get from A to B
I don’t wanna see you look down yr nose
From the top of my head to the bottom of my toes
And listen to yr snide remarks snappin’ yr mouth like a great white shark

And I wanna stop and shake her, in the hope that it’ll make her
Take note and mental clearance of judging people by appearance
Cuz looks can be deceiving and it kinda leaves me reeling
To know that she thinks less of me due to ignorance and bigotry
And I’m definitely not ageist but being mean can be contagious
So when I open my mouth to say, ‘she’s just an old bitch,’
That’s not okay
But if she didn’t act like one I wouldn’t have to say
I met this stupid old woman as I was on my way
To play a gig in London just the other day
And I don’t want to upset her
Cuz maybe she had dementia
Or some other illness old folk get
Am I being ageist yet?
Frustration has made me forget the example I was supposed to set
That when someone says something mean it’s best to keep yr conscience clean
Smile and nod, repel the hate, you don’t have to retaliate
That old lady’s probably lonely and plus she doesn’t even know me
And tonight when she goes to bed I wonder what runs through her head
Did she make a positive impression or think she was teaching me a lesson
Or maybe should would feel real sad knowing that she made me feel bad
Or maybe she takes pleasure, in the measure of her rudeness
And if that’s true so be it and when she’s mean I guess she means it

Regardless of the outcome all I want to say
Is what the hell is an apple strudel, anyway?
