Original Broadway Cast of Caroline, or Change
I Hate the Bus
[EMMIE]
I hate the bus
I want my own car
A car with a heater
Want a TV set, and more
A big old house like this one
But everything new
Where can't nobody ever
Can't nobody ever
Tell me what to do
Go out when I want to

[ROSE]
Stuart

[EMMIE]
When I don't, then I stay

[ROSE]
Go see, is Noah alright?

[EMMIE]
Got magical bracelets, so bullets bounce away

[ROSE]
Tuck him in for the night
[EMMIE]
In every room a TV
And my own telephone
And I live in my house
And I live in my house
By myself, all alone
And if I'm lonely
Doesn't matter
I think there's worse than being lonely
There's people who freeze
While they wait on their knees
And they don't know for what
And they just been forgot
And I ain't waiting no more
You just wait forever
If you can't say what for
The day come soon
I'll pack up the nothing I own
And I'll live in my house
And I'll make it okay
By myself
All alone
