His stop is always after yours
  He never seems to leave
  I heard him speak only once
  You're standing on my foot [x2]
    He never reads the paper
  And state's lottery number is 5-8-3
  I hope he doesn't look at you
  Cause you'll have to pay the fare
  If he looks at you
    The man who rules the world
  Rides the bus all day long
  Staring out the window
  Making things happen
    All the lights turn green at once
  And it begins to rain
  Somewhere a TV changes channel
  And angry words are spoken
    The milk's gone bad
  And the phone rings once and stops
  A sign on the door says open
  3000 miles
  Time to change the oil [x2]
    The man who rules the world
  Rides the bus all day long
  Staring out the window
  Making things happen
    The wind in the trees
  Is the hardest part
  And he loses sleep at night
  He closes his eyes
  And counts to ten
  And hopes it turns out alright
  Alright... [x7]
    The man who rules the world
  Rides the bus all day long
  Staring out the window
  Making things happen
    Bullets hit their mark
  And the screaming never stops
  All systems go
  Lights out
  Everyone goes to sleep
    The man who rules the world
  Rides the bus all day long
  Staring out the window
  Making things happen
  [x5]
