Superhero of the MTA

There was something going down in paradise
No something didn't feel right
In the city of angels
There was a darkness on the bus
And one man's vigilance was another man's demise
And that's just what happened here
That's why we sing this song

He pulled into the stop at Normandy
And Hollywood Boulevard
He noticed a bulge that seemed unnatural
No something just didn't feel right
The message on the dispatch
Yeah, it was a perfect match
So he hit the brakes, threw him off
And took him down

Oh the FBI, and the CIA
Yeah, we had every branch of law enforcement
On the case that day
They were looking for a car-jackin', counterfeitin'
Bank-robbin' bad guy whose name escapes me
But that's not important anyway
It's who took him down that I'm trying to say
It was a fearless superhero
A driver for the MTA

After our hero apprehended the crook
And the police took that thug away
The driver got back on the bus with a humble smile
And the people clapped and cheered
So let that be a lesson now
To all you terrorists and hoodlums too
The MTA is watching you
They're gonna take you were you need to go

Oh the FBI, yeah and the CIA
We had every branch of law enforcement
On the case that day
They were looking for a car-jackin', counterfeitin'
Bank-robbin' bad guy whose name escapes me
But that's not important anyway
It's who took him down that I'm trying to say
It was a fearless superhero
A driver for the MTA


The MTA, they need some flashier uniforms
A little less scrappy, a little more snappy
Maybe more of a tailored look
Oh the MTA, transporting the common man like me
With uncommon dignity
They're gonna get you where you need to go

Yeah the FBI, and the CIA
Oh we had every branch of law enforcement
On the case that day
They were looking for a car-jackin', counterfeitin'
Bank-robbin' bad guy whose name escapes me
But that's not important anyway
It's who took him down that I'm trying to say
It was a fearless crime-fightin'
Superhero of the MTA
