| He left his house; he should have stayed | |
| He went to work so he'd get paid | |
| So he'd afford his brand new maid | |
| Other things that make life great | |
| He hopped a bus and then a train | |
| Few more stops he'd have it made | |
| But something happened on this day | |
| That put this man into his grave | |
| The train broke down he took a cab | |
| He told the man to make it fast | |
| They ran into a concrete slab | |
| Then cries and screams for many times | |
| He left the cab, walked down the street | |
| There a person he did meet | |
| Who thought his gun was pretty neat | |
| And wanted to see someone bleed | |
| Stumbling on for two more blocks | |
| His body was in total shock | |
| Punch in time was eight o'clock | |
| He's hours late, so he'd be docked | |
| Twenty feet from where he worked | |
| He fell upon some teenage jerks | |
| They took his cash then went berzerk | |
| And killed the poor old office clerk | |
| He should have stayed home | |
| He should have stayed home | |
| He should have stayed home | |
