Lyrics: The Waiting Song

your basic average super star
is singing about justice
and peace and love
i am glaring at the radio, swearing
saying that's 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'll 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
because 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, oh i can't wait
'til they get their due

baby i've only got a minute
before 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 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 super star
is singing about justice and peace and love
i am glaring at the radio, swearing
saying that's 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

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
