"Attention Metro customers. The Elevator is out at Union Station. Please Detour at Little Tokyo Station–Atención clientes de Metro. El elevador está afuera en Union Station. Por favor, desvíese en la estación Little Tokyo."

I appreciate my legs
The inconvenience that would cause me
The time it would take out of my trip

Out of what I had to do,
I would be late and I can't be late
I can't be late

Don't feel sorry for people in wheelchairs
Or how they're now going to be a late

"Attention Metro customers. The Elevator is out at Union Station. Please Detour at Little Tokyo Station–Atención clientes de Metro. El elevador está afuera en Union Station. Por favor, desvíese en la estación Little Tokyo."

The woman in front of me is going to be late to class
The man in back of me is going to be late to work
I can't be late I have to be on time

Another wheelchair gets on at Pico Aliso they're going to be late
There sure are a lot of wheelchairs on the train today
I wonder what's going on in the city that has to do with wheelchairs

Whatever it is, if they're on this train, they're going to be late
Hopefully, they put time in case this happens

"Attention Metro customers. The Elevator is out at Union Station. Please Detour at Little Tokyo Station–Atención clientes de Metro. El elevador está afuera en Union Station. Por favor, desvíese en la estación Little Tokyo."

I bet they've already accounted for this detour in their schedule
I imagine that they have to detour often
There aren't too many elevators or wheelchair ramps

They aren't everywhere
If I were in a wheelchair I'd probably give myself a couple hours
I would never be late

So they're not going to be late
Just like me, we're not going to be late

"Attention Metro Customers. I apologize for the inconvenience but there is a train stalled up ahead us so please bear with us, all you motherfuckers are going to be late today."

Did the driver just say that?
Are we all really going to be late?
I don't think that's what he said

I'm thinking that I think he said motherfucker
We're not all going to be late
Only the people in wheelchairs

I cannot be late
We're all not going to be late

"Hijo de puta vas a llegar tarde!"
