Song Lyrics
Why I get on the
bus
©2002 by Patrick Keaney
CHORUS (2x):
I get on the bus for what I believe in,
I get on the bus to fight the good fight,
I get on the bus to New York City,
I get on the bus for human rights!
VERSES:
We get on the bus every springtime,
We get on the bus until we die,
We get on the bus to make a difference,
to make some changes you and I!
[ CHORUS ]
In a world of wealth
and plenty
we still see so much need
While the few exploit the many
to satisfy their greed.
But the people search for justice
and they will not be denied.
And when we want to raise our voices,
we get on the bus and ride!
[ CHORUS ]
We dont do it for the
glory
We dont do it for ourselves
We want peace in Colombia!
We wanna free the Drapchi 12!
We wanna help the Afghan Women,
survive George Bush's War!
And an end to executions
is what we are calling for!
[ CHORUS ]
We get on the bus every
springtime,
We get on the bus until we die,
We get on the bus to make a difference,
to make some changes you and I!
The Get on the Bus
tradition
is in its seventh year
and I don't know about you all
but I'm damn proud I'm here!
[ CHORUS ]
We get on the bus every
springtime,
We get on the bus until we die,
We get on the bus to make a difference,
to make some changes you and I!
Standing up for justice
not afraid to tell the truth!
And us old folks get inspired
by the spirit of the youth!
We dont do it for the
glory
We dont do it for ourselves
We want peace in Colombia!
We wanna free the Drapchi 12!
[ CHORUS ]
We get on the bus every
springtime,
We get on the bus until we die,
We get on the bus to make a difference,
to make some changes you and I!
