Suspicious Eyes

Oh God I'm running late again

I don't believe this

Another Wednesday morning on the train to work

And my weekend spread into the middle of the week

I'm boozing every night; three hours sleep

Check out the people, all stare at my feet

Guy next to me pretends to read the Metro

Sort of bloke who calls everybody "bro"

But only met a black guy at uni, though

And the lady with the kid watches some guy make the train

Suspicious eyes

Looking for the end

(Clocks are ticking and we leave on time)

Suspicious eyes

Looking for the end

A young Asian guy with a rucksack on his back

Jumps onto the tube, is he ready to attack?

God, just imagine being all over

Trapped in the tube with nowhere to go

All the smoke and confusion, stuck in this dark coffin

The man with the paper, he moves from his seat

Why did that kid stand so close to me?

I'm sick of them moaning that they're being picked on

But it's them running round with the bombs

I'll grab the kids, leave Londonstan

Join the white flight to Surrey and beyond

Suspicious eyes

Looking for the end

(Clocks are ticking and we leave on time)

Suspicious eyes

Looking for the end

These people are assuming who I am, but they're wrong

Got a beard and a bag so they think I got a bomb

I saw everyone's reaction soon as I stepped through the door

All acting like they've never seen a brown person before

The guy in front of me, he should be reading his paper

I'm checking my watch cos there's an interview that I'm gonna be late for

Every time I step on the tube, there's a dude in his suit

Who ain't got no manners, doesn't he know staring is rude?

And if you're so scared, move! I've just stopped caring

I'm off at the next stop, mate, just keep staring

Suspicious eyes

Looking for the end
