standing at the station, waiting for the train
standing at the station, waiting for the train
ain't got no ticket but im gonna ride it just same
they didn't save me a seat
i dont mind to stand
i got strong feet
from dodgin' the controller man
the rich get mean
the poor get lean
the young get old
the old get cold
and we're rollin' into the wind
and it looks like rain
ain't got no permit
don't want no liscance
they say you better get withit
or we're gonna cite ya as a public nuscance
daddy ain't rich
uncle got no connection
workin' here diggin this ditch
's got me thinking 'bout a revolution
this train keeps a rollin'
and i'm gonna ride
ain't got no money
don't need no bank
they say ya better some money sonny
or were gonna putcha in the tank
hear that lonesome whistle
blowin my blues away
ain't got no education
don't need no diplome
there ain't no job protection
on these rails which i rome
but I'm gonna ride this train
to the end of the line,
don't want no security
that wont free me
anyway there ain't no security
keep your bloody hands of me
and were rollin down the line
this train is makin time
Let me eat when I'm hungry
drink when I'm dry
life's too short
let me live it before i die
hear to those rails a hummin
like a guitar strummin
Ain't got no syndicit
to defend my dignity
its only me who'll stand up to it
when they decide to fuck with me
and this train keeps a rollin'
on down to boogie town

You are amazing. Will you marry me?
Seriously. I loved this. -

-great song-love the way it kicks in, gets the foot tapping, the build up towards the last verse. Great sentiment too-good stuff.

It's different.
My first impressino is of the many misspelt words, then reading this about no education I wonder if the misspelling was done on purpose. Emotionally I find this sounds just like a hobo or very uneducated person might sound like. With the away it is written it could be considered awkward if you don't take into consideration that this is supposed to be written by someone who is illiterate. With that in mind I wouldn't change any of this. The title is fine, and the first line goes with the title. The last line is good. The video is good and I liked the poem and video a lot.

ok

fine but a little confusion in mixing vedios to the peom.it will not help the deconstruction of the poem that has to be done by the reader

Rob,
This is very here and now for most of the people i know, it's a great reallity of life in a good metaphoric form.
It's feet tapping good. The last two verses was great.
I loved the message in the authors notes...
"Or something like that" lol way too funny.
