Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Caught a ride now you're just about done
Short fuse, I'm 'boutta lose it
Got a bit of power, ain't afraid to abuse it

Spent all day patrollin' the station
Only form of contact is intimidation
Wound up, violent on occasion
But I'm just fightin' against fare evasion

Better, better, better surrender
To the, to the, to the ticket inspector
Run, run, I'm still gonna getcha
Ya can't hide from me, I'm a ticket inspector

Playin' rough, lookin' tough
Knock off time but I haven't had enough
Wanna ride? You need my permission
I do it for the love, not for the commission

I love my job, it's my passion
Handin' out fines like they're goin' outta fashion
Suck it up, get what ya given
It's dishonest work but it makes me a livin'

Better, better, better surrender
To the, to the, to the ticket inspector
Run, run, I'm still gonna getcha
Ya can't hide from me, I'm a ticket inspector
Ticket inspector
