Lyrics

Making Enemies

[Verse]

We're just waiting for our man to come through with a plan

Of how the hell we turn this 'round and dig ourselves out of the ground

We don't really want to know the things you claim to know

It could fall around our ears, might not hurt for years and years

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]

We're just waiting for our man to come through with a plan

Of how the hell we turn this 'round and dig ourselves out of the ground

We don't really want to know the things you claim to know

It could fall around our ears, might not hurt for years and years

[Chorus]

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(We're just waiting, we're just waiting) Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Verse]

We're just waiting for our man to come through with a plan (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Of how the hell we turn this round and dig ourselves out of the ground (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

We don't really want to know the things you claim to know (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

It could fall around our ears, might not hurt for years and years (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

We're just waiting for our man to come through with a plan (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Of how the hell we turn this round and dig ourselves out of the ground (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

We don't really want to know the things you claim to know (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

It could fall around our ears, might not hurt for years and years (Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)
