It'll Be a Long Time

All this time has whittled away
 Like so many days in one
 Back and forth the leaders sway
 Backing 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 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
 
 All they 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 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

 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 fooling anyone but me
 You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
 But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
 You gotta make yourself see what you want to see, oh yeah!
 ♪
 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 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 yay, ay, ay
