The Waiting Song

Your basic average super star
Is singing about justice
And peace and love
And I am glaring at the radioSwearing, 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 sameBut I will wait, yes, I will wait for the truth
I will wait for the truth, yes I will wait for the truthThey 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 brokenI 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 assAnd I can't wait
Oh, I can't wait 'til they get their dueBaby 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 asideAnd 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 knowBut maybe if we wait
If we wait things will improve
Maybe we just wait and things will improve
You know, they've got to improveYour basic average superstar
Is singing about justice
And peace and love
And I am glaring at the radioSwearing, 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 sameHe 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
