I've heard about a great big swindle I read about it in a book The book flew out the window Was later found by thieves and crooks And now they're singin' Hallelujah I'm wonderin' just what did they find They say, "What's it to ya? Just take a place in line" And wait, so I wait, I wait and wait and I Im one of a few survivors In a drawer labeled lost and found Moon travelers and deep sea divers Whose oxygen supply ran out Now maybe if their Gods be willin' They'll give us somethin', fill our empty cups Sit down in the boat, dont spill it Or we'll just have to line back up And wait, so we wait, we wait and wait, yes we wait And we wait, we will wait, we will wait 'til we You can hear it in the beat they march to And you can feel the Earth shake when they start to dance You can tell by the way they move you It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby And as the world moves faster Whiplashin' us round and round It's quite a slow disaster But people keep on fallin' down As we wait, we wait and we wait We wait and we wait, we wait, Hallelujah
