Example: you get to work "late" and they dock you a portion of your pay or make you work late to make up for it.

Example 2: McGyver is about to diffuse the bomb when it blows him and his friends up.

One is late. Two is too late.

Except for the fact that the lyric is, "It's a free ride when you've already PAID" .

WTF do you think is ironic about getting a FREE ride when you're LATE, let alone TOO LATE.

Last, it's widely known that the situations in the song are hardly irony - just shitty luck.
