Catchiest song off the FHT album, in my opinion, it's about a guy who "walks" alone through life while everyone else "drives." He takes a longer time to get where he needs to be. Motorists jeer at him as they pass by. So the pedestrian has a much harder time than other people. Despite this, he is a pedestrian by choice, just because he feels like it ("I don't have a reason to be a misfit"). He is also a good guy who doesn't really get a lot of recognition, because he does good deeds in a quiet way, such as not polluting the environment with a car ("Pedestrian is what I am, an understated samaritan"). The last line ("I did my time, well, now it's time to go") is key. He has to stop and wait for his turn to cross the street while others pass him and get their rewards first, but he's patient and takes whatever life throws at him with ease until it's his time.
