The Waiting Song — текст песни (Ani Difranco)

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 ass
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
