Struck a Nerve - Bad Religion

There’s an old man on a city bus

Holding a candy cane

And it isn’t even Christmas

He sees a note in the obituary

That his last friend has died

There’s an infant clinging

To his overweight mother in the cold

As they go to shop for cigarettes

As she spends her last dollar

On a bottle of vodka for tonight

And I guess it struck a nerve

Like I had to squint my eyes

You can never get out

Of the line of sight
