It'll Be A Long Time Songtext / Lyric

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've got a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come into season

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

I've 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've got a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come into season

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

I've 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



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 got a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come into season

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

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