Music on the underground

I board the train and take my seat

But I can’t help but notice that loud drum beat

Each person I scan to find the culprit

Earphones upon earphones

I marvel as I sit

Could it be you, sat tapping your feet?

Or you, who are nodding while proceeding to tweet?

I feel so abused some passengers do too

We do not want a party or to hear this noise from you

We have not requested a DJ,

Equipped for the underground,

Can we travel in peace, please

Without surround sound?
