Reality Is a Ride on the Bus
SNFU Lyrics

My face is buried inside a book
I'm trying to avoid the unpleasant reality around me by burying myself in this book.

Everybody's wearing a haggard look
The people around me are tired and worn out from the hardships of life.

The sirens scream, a baby cries
The world around us is full of chaos and suffering, as symbolized by the sirens and baby cries.

Everyday on this bus I ride
This serves as a daily reminder of the struggles of everyday life.

There's a man to my left Who's got a stump for a hand
I am confronted with physical disabilities that remind me of the fragility of life.

I'm staring into a giant cyst Growing on the face of a Chinese man
I'm forced to confront the ugliness and imperfections of the world head-on, as represented by the cyst on the man's face.

Reality is a ride on the bus
The experiences on this bus are a microcosm of the harsh realities of life as a whole.

The mongoloid is in the back He's having his snot for lunch
The marginalized, vulnerable individuals of society are often mistreated and exploited, as symbolized by the mongoloid and his meal.

There's a loud mouth sitting next to me The one that everybody wants to punch
Oppression can come in many forms, and this loud and abrasive individual represents one form of it.

Reality is a ride on the bus
Once again, the song drives home the idea that the events on the bus are a reflection of the greater reality of life.

So hop on board and step inside This sardine can on wheels we'll ride
We can't escape our harsh realities, so we might as well confront them head-on, even if it's uncomfortable.
