ANI DIFRANCO lyrics : "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 staus 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 $$#

and I can't wait

oh I can't wait til 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


your basic average superstar
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'll 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
