Lyrics
Life Won't Wait
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.
Teach the children and disciples to wage a brand of war
Religious and prestigious keep the quest for the holy grail
The eye atop the pyramid is open and awake
The pagans own the rituals and the quiet world begins to say
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
The force of war, dynamite blast, writhes on the weak and the poor
Don't wanna see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fighting all big men's wars
Don't know nothing 'bout no red, white and blue
Little men bring the big man too
Too many win, nobody lose, it all comes down to what will they choose
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
The conscience of the public can not be put to sleep
The conglomerate of the nations has no bounds in which they seek
Was it the mob tellin' the CIA to put us all in this state of fear
How many of us wish we were at Jeff Kennedy's hearing say
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
See them try to rule the world
We don't know why
Why they want to rule the world
Cuya ???
Only white men and black men's..??? the white power ???
The guns of mass destruction, them fighting about
Buying the world is only so much money
Here they come ??? in the knees
World wide hunger ??? one fear
Well gangster treaties who keep us in fear
How much more cannot people deal?
Need no more division
Need no more pride and I, I will keep on fighting to keep what's
mine
We the people speaking our mind
And once more, would you say it for me now?
Dynamite blast of the force of war
Government rides on the weak and poor
Don't want to see my brother in pain no more
When the little man fights all the big man's war
??? victimize
Mental slavery with the clever disguise
Our prides on our people must rise
Decide your fate
My Life won't wait!!!
Life won't wait!!!
Oh, life won't wait!!!
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
The vision is a new world order
Come along and tell your sister and your brother
