[Intro] [Bus brakes hiss] [Car horn blasts] [Street traffic and distant city noise] [Fast drum count-in] [Bright offbeat guitar chops] [Walking bass kicks in] [Spoken, cheeky] Early morning... Here we go again. [Verse 1] [Quirky spoken-sung male vocal] Early morning, alarm's a cruel joke, People dart like ants in a narrow squeeze, Pray you board before the full sign shows, Glazed eyes staring — no one's really in. [Horn stabs] Streets bubbling wild, like rivers post-storm, Instead of fresh rain — it's exhaust and horns! [Short instrumental break] [Walking bass + offbeat guitar] [Verse 2] [More animated vocal] Congested chaos, like a gut after feast, Stuffed to the brim, no room for the least. Oh, don't you feel it? That bloated regret, From last night's binge — now you're paying the debt! [Horn response] Mind's in a twist, eyes glued to the screen, Minutes drag on — slow as molasses. [Drums stop] [Brief silence] [Spoken] And we're still not moving. [Drum fill] [Full band returns] [Chorus] [Explosive gang vocals] STUCK IN THIS JAM — JAM! JAM! Cars crawling slow! Helpless and fuming — WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?! [Gang vocals] Jam! Jam! Oh no! [Lead vocal] Bus is a sardine can, Rocking side to side, Watching the world zoom past While I'm left behind! [Gang vocals] LEFT BEHIND! [Lead vocal] Late for the boss, Late for the pay, Traffic's the thief That steals the whole day! [Full gang shout] STEALS THE WHOLE DAY! [Brass blast] [Drums + bass break] [Gang vocals] Oh no! Oh no! [Horn stabs] Horns blaring loud! [All vocals] THIS MORNING MADNESS — DROWNING US ALL! [Instrumental Ska Break] [Walking bass prominently featured] [Fast offbeat guitar] [Playful brass melody] [Traffic horns rhythmically answering the horns] [Verse 3] [Quirky spoken-sung vocal] Top deck throne, Surveying the chaos below, Helplessness heavy, No seat to be found. [Short brass answers] Streets frozen solid, Time is on the sprint, Already late — Feels like a parallel life. [Drums building] Clock's ticking cruel, With a sarcastic grin, While I'm trapped in this joyride... [Spoken] ...and the story goes on. [Sudden stop] [Spoken, quietly] Still not moving. [One horn blast] [Chorus] [Huge gang vocals] STUCK IN THIS JAM — JAM! JAM! Cars crawling slow! Helpless and fuming — WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?! [Gang vocals] Jam! Jam! Oh no! [Lead vocal] Bus is a sardine can, Rocking side to side, Watching the world zoom past While I'm left behind! [Gang vocals] LEFT BEHIND! [Lead vocal] Late for the boss, Late for the pay, Traffic's the thief That steals the whole day! [Gang vocals] STEALS THE WHOLE DAY! [Brass explosion] [All vocals] OH NO! OH NO! [Stop-time] Horns blaring loud! [All vocals] THIS MORNING MADNESS — DROWNING US ALL! [Outro] [Fast instrumental ska] [Walking bass goes wild] [Offbeat guitar chops] [Chaotic brass stabs] [Car horns joining rhythmically] [Spoken, laughing] Same time tomorrow? [Band hits final chord] [Car horn] [Hard stop]
