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

 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
