Lyrics
What You Waiting For
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody seems to think the same,
They've resigned to the fact that their lives are plain,
And that's the way that it's gonna remain,
They're watching all their aspirations running down the drain,
But sooner or later something's got to give,
Too busy planning for the future you forgot to live,
Fair enough if you're happy working 9 to 5,
But wouldn't you like to see the sun outside?
I'd rather have a go even if it goes wrong,
All is not lost i'm just back at square one,
I'd rather have a go even if it goes wrong,
All is not lost i'm just back at square one,
I'm sick of pessemists,
Knocking down my door,
They tell me where they're going,
I say what you waiting for? x2
What was once a blue sky's now a shade of grey,
I always feel like half the man i was yesterday,
I'm only happy with a pint in my hand,
But i'm not worried because i've got a plan,
Gonna have it til the end gonna chase this dream,
Gonna prize myself away from the t.v screen,
Fair enough if you're happy working 9 to 5,
But wouldn't you like to see the sun outside?
I'd rather have a go even if it goes wrong,
All is not lost i'm just back at square one,
I'd rather have a go even if it goes wrong,
All is not lost i'm just back at square one
