Lyrics
[Verse 1]
US Forces give the nod
It's a setback for your country
Bombs and trenches all in rows
Bombs and threats still ask for more
[Verse 2]
Divided world, the CIA
Say who control the issue
Ya leave us with no time to talk
Ya can write your own assist
Ma-ma-ma-mow, ma-ma-ma-mow
[Verse 3]
Sing me songs of no denyin'
Seems to be too many tryin'
Waitin' for the next big thing
[Verse 4]
Will you know it when you see it?
High risk children, dogs of war
Now market movements call the shots
Business deals in parking lots
Waitin' for the meat of tomorrow
[Verse 5]
Sing me songs of no denyin'
Seems to be too many tryin'
Waitin' for the next big thing
[Verse 6]
Everyone, too stoned to start a mission
People too scared to go to prison
We're unable to make decisions
[Verse 7]
Politician's party line, don't cross that floor
L. Ron Hubbard can't save your life
Super boy takes a plutonium wife
In the shadow of ban the bomb, we live
[Verse 8]
Sing me songs of no denyin'
Seems to be too many tryin'
Waitin' for the next big thing
[Verse 9]
Sing me songs of no denyin'
Seems to be too many tryin'
Waitin' for the next big thing
[Verse 10]
Sing me songs of no denyin'
Seems to be too many tryin'
Waitin' for the next big thing
[Verse 11]
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
