I don't think that we will be pleased with this
We have waited for a long time
I recall the promises made to us
We've been patient for a long time

One touch is never enough
You gave the opening, opening
One touch is never enough
People who need people, to the back of the bus

I don't see how we could be pleased with this
We've been waiting for a long time
I recall the promises made to us
We've been patient such a long time

No one is dangerous
We are not dangerous
Unless we get a closer view

One touch is never enough
People need to move to the back of the bus
One touch is never enough
Complicated people never do what you're told to

One touch is never enough
People will need this in the back of the bus
One touch is never enough
People who need people are just people who need people

One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
People who need people are just people who need people

I don't think that we will be pleased with this
We have waited such a long time
There's no way that we can be pleased with this
We've been waiting such a long time

We've been waiting such a long time
We've been waiting such a long time
This is getting sort of unreasonable
But we've been waiting a very long time

One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough

One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
One touch is never enough
People who need people, to the back of the bus

No one is dangerous
No one is dangerous
Until we get a closer view

    Song Meaning

    I imagine as this as being a song about educated 20-something urban (i.e. - hipster) lifestyle, focusing on the passive aggressive nature of dealing with problems. There's the "I don't see how we could be pleased with this," which is a sort of passive aggressive of saying "this is unacceptable." I imagine it likely involves waiting to be seated, or waiting for food at, a restaurant. The "people need to move to the back of the bus" is on the same vein. If you've ridden the bus in a large city enough, that always seems to happen where, when it gets really crowded, the people at the back won't move back anymore when those at the front are trying to get on, so someone always ends up yelling something like this, at no one in particular, so as not to cause a direct confrontation, but rather act as a defacto authority figure. In that way, this song is an interesting sociological analysis, looking at how our society has evolved to one that has a majority of individuals who expend energy to avoid conflict with the minority who would cause it. If that makes sense.
