about

The best thing to happen to School since Alice Cooper sang about it. Your very own bus - for 'special' people, like you. Makes daily round trips between home, school, and juvie court. Maybe you'll run into Joan Jett there.

lyrics

The Special Kids’ Bus (lyrics ©2016 Dark Projectionist Productions)

It’s only half as long but it’s twice as fun
Pulls right up to your door and you never have to run
Instead of fifty-five seats its only got twenty
The kids who ride on it are all a little bit funny
The special kids’ bus
The special kids’ bus
The special kids’ bus
The special kids’ bus


We got a burly-assed driver and a lady called ‘The Matron’
The driver’s name is Butch, and The Matron’s Missus Payton
Don’t be cussin’ out Butch, don’t be hatin’ on the Matron
Or when you get to school the Vice Principal be waitin’ for
The special kids’ bus
(refrain)


You been a bad boy gonna be a bad, bad man
Little bus ain't gonna carry you to the promised land
Your mama doesn't want you to be stigmatized
But anyone can see it by the look in your eyes
When you hear your neighbor cryin’ ‘Lord, help us’
It’s ‘cause her little darlin’ rides the special kids’ bus
The special kids’ bus
(refrain)


That bad ass on my shoulder Missus Payton calls ‘Chip’
Told my fist to take a journey to my class mate’s lip
Now I’m sittin’ in a room with padding on the wall
Waitin’ like a goon for the shit to fall
Lemme out, lemme out, lemme earn your trust
I wanna go home on the special kids’ bus
The special kids’ bus
(refrain)


My PDD is fightin’ with my ADD
A zip lock bag of pharmaceuticals and OTCs
Side effects may include sudden heart attack or death
But in double-blind trials they had a positive effect
Not on the bus
Not on the special kids’ bus
(refrain)

ADD . . .
PDD . . .
DSM . . .
OCD . . .


Ritalin . . .
Adderall . . .
Get her done . . .
FUCK IT ALL!
