Waiting For The Bell To Ring

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.

Do you believe it what the papers say?

They're driving me insane they push me over my limit

Do you believe it they catch me every time?

It ought to be a crime. Wo, the things they say

There ought to be a reason for turning black to white

Sometimes get the feeling that it's done to spite

They don't need a reason to turn your world around

(Chorus)

I'm waiting for the bell to ring

I want the angels to sing

And I'm waiting for the bad man to fall

I'm just about done with it all

Do you believe it, when politicians talk

And make, make the people walk into the fire

Do, you concede, is there no reprieve

From their power game, I know there's someone to blame

We ought to be forgiven for taking in their words

They don't even write them now is that absurd

They don't need a reason to tear your world apart

(Repeat chorus)

And I'm just about done with it all

With it all

And I'm waiting, you know I'm waiting

For the angels to sing for the freedom it brings

For the bad man to fall

When the children call, I want the angels to sing

And I'm just about done with it all

And I'm waiting for the bell to ring

I want the children to sing

And I'm waiting for the bad man to fall

I'm done with it all

(Repeat chorus)
