Waiting

(album: Underneath The Rainbow - 2014)

Sitting in the classroom, waiting for the teacher's hand,
to lead us in the Pledge (of) Allegience, make us understand
Would we rather kick the legs out of the chair and watch her fall?
cos there's no more time for her to make the call

So we're gonna break down all the desks, tear down the maps, and storm down the halls
cos it doesn't mean a thing to us at all

I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same

I'm riding down the interstate, moving faster, if I can
I'm trying not to instigate any problems with The Man
but they'll probably find a way to say to me, "You cannot move"
So what's this guy gonna try to prove?

Better not make a sudden movement
Just be cool and don't act dumb
While he's looking down the sides of his gun

I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same

You're gonna find them in your neighborhood, you're gonna find them in your shed
They're gonna find you, shooken up with fear, hiding underneath your bed

But you'd rather they be gone for long forever, lights and sound
If they never had existed, that'd be fine

But you gotta live with the regret
Forget, for now, at least, is fine, cos they'll find a place for you on down the line

I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same
