Lyrics
0:01All this time has whittled away
0:03Like so many days in one
0:06Back and forth the leaders sway
0:09Backing it up with guns
0:12Superpowers flex their wings
0:15Hold the world on puppet strings
0:18Egos will feed
0:19While citizens bleed
0:21That's always the way it goes
0:24When will the world listen to reason
0:27I've a feeling it'll be a long time
0:30When will the truth come in to season
0:33I've a feeling it'll be a long time
0:36I've a feeling it'll be a long time
0:42All they want is what they can defend
0:44Before their time is up
0:47Make the same mistakes again
0:50Heard it all before
0:53Superpowers flex their wings
0:56Hold the world on puppet strings
0:59Egos will feed
1:00While citizens bleed
1:02That's always the way it goes
1:05When will the world listen to reason
1:08I've a feeling it'll be a long time
1:11When will the truth come in to season
1:14I've a feeling it'll be a long time
1:17I've a feeling it'll be a long time
1:20I've a feeling it'll be a long time
1:29Well if they tried
1:31Maybe they'd see
1:33It'd do a little good to let the world be free
1:37Handshake and a smile
1:38Gets you on through
1:40Then turn it all around with a suicide move
1:43But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
1:47You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
1:50But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
1:53You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
1:56Yeah yeah
2:09Superpowers flex their wings
2:12Hold the world on puppet strings
2:15Egos will feed
2:16While citizens bleed
2:17That's always the way it goes
2:21When will the world listen to reason
2:24I've a feeling it'll be a long time
2:26When will the truth come in to season
2:30I've a feeling it'll be a long time
2:32I've a feeling it'll be a long time
2:36Oh yeah yeah
All this time has whittled away Like so many days in one Back and forth the leaders sway Backing it up with guns Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes When will the world listen to reason I've a feeling it'll be a long time When will the truth come in to season I've a feeling it'll be a long time I've a feeling it'll be a long time All they want is what they can defend Before their time is up Make the same mistakes again Heard it all before Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes When will the world listen to reason I've a feeling it'll be a long time When will the truth come in to season I've a feeling it'll be a long time I've a feeling it'll be a long time I've a feeling it'll be a long time Well if they tried Maybe they'd see It'd do a little good to let the world be free Handshake and a smile Gets you on through Then turn it all around with a suicide move But you know it's not fooling anyone but me You gotta make yourself see what you want to see But you know it's not fooling anyone but me You gotta make yourself see what you want to see Yeah yeah Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes When will the world listen to reason I've a feeling it'll be a long time When will the truth come in to season I've a feeling it'll be a long time I've a feeling it'll be a long time Oh yeah yeah
