All this time has whittled away

Like so many days in one

Back and forth the leaders sway

Backin' 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 feelin' it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time



All the 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 feelin' it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time

I've a feelin' 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 foolin' anyone but me

You gotta make yourself see what you want to see

But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me

You gotta make yourself see what you want to see



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"



When will the world listen to reason

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time

I've a feelin' it'll be a long time
