The Waiting Song

Your basic average super star

Is singing about justice

And peace

And love

And i am glaring at the radio

Swearing

Saying that's just what i was afraid of

The system gives you just enough

To make you think that you see change

They will sing you right to sleep

And then they'll screw you just the same

But i will wait

Yes, i will wait for the truth

They think i make a big deal about nothing

But they still think i'm

Kinda cute

They joke about the status quo

To break the ice

Once the ice is broken

I hope they all fall through

'cause this is no joke to me

They don't fool me

With their acts of sensitivity

They too shall pass

Just like everyone

Who's only here for my ass

And i can't wait

Oh i can't wait till they get their due

Baby i've only got a minute

Baby i have to go

A minute is all my life

Will ever allow

Let's grow old

And die together

Let's do it now

Because you'll do all the jobs

No one else will do

And you'll step aside

And you will let me come through

You have all my respect

I'll leave it here when i go

Maybe i never told you, baby

Maybe you don't know

But maybe if we wait

If we wait things will improve

Maybe we just wait

And things will improve

You know, they've got to improve

Your basic average superstar

Is singing about justice

And peace

And love

And i am glaring at the radio

Swearing

Saying that's just what i was afraid of

The system gives you just enough

To make you think that you see change

They'll sing you right to sleep

And then they'll screw you just the same

He says i know you have to go

You have gone before

We are fighting on two different fronts

Of the same war

But no matter what else

I will do

I will wait for you
