Lyrics

Wait

[Verse 1]

See a pair of fellas

Rolling down a hill

Punching the life out of each other

Glamour waves the air

[Chorus]

Wait

Wait

Wait

[Verse 2]

Ironic t-shirts wet with blood

An argument over aesthetics

That would be my guess

[Chorus]

Wait

Wait

Wait

[Verse 3]

Friend for all occasions

Muscle, don't you move

Jump up disgusted and quell me

Keep me above this filth

Fifty thousand eyesores

Dotting across the land

[Chorus]

Wait

Wait

Wait

[Outro]

Jump up disgusted and quell me

Keep me above this filth

Jump up disgusted and quell me

Keep me above this filth

Keep me

Keep me

Keep me

Keep me
