Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All this time has whittled away
So many days in one
Back and forth, the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns
[PreChorus]
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
[Chorus]
When will the world listen to reason?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
[Verse 2]
All they want, they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes all again
Heard it all before, yeah
[PreChorus]
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
[Chorus]
When will the world listen to reason?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
[Bridge]
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
And turn it all around with the suicide move
[Bridge]
But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what ya wanna see
But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what ya wanna see, oh yeah
[PreChorus]
I say, yeah
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed while citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
[Chorus]
When will the world listen to reason?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season?
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
