I got this card for travel, on the bus,
the ferry and the train
Supposed to make things easier, but I’m
just feeling pain
Nothing seems to happen as I wave the
thing around
It’s s’posed to play a melody, but mine
don’t make a sound
I stand there at the barrier, as a line
behind me starts
I tap and wave, to no avail, I want to rip
this thing apart
No-one makes a comment, and I know they’ve
been here too
Why is it that our government, does not
seem to have a clue
The Opal card they called it, who dreamed
up such a name
A rock of many colours, from way down deep
it came
Did they dig this up from underground,
polish it and make it pretty
Or did they make a plan, to make commuters
shitty
I really do not comprehend, why they think
that it is so good
When it fails test 101, by not working as
it should
But you know, I persevere, I need to catch
this train
I stand in line, just waiting, and do it
all again
