Lyrics
Wait and Watch
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.
I'm gonna wait and watch the world die.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
Once again, the time is right
To look to the past with clear hindsight.
To kick yourself for doing what you're told.
To smoke up all your medicine,
To piss off your last few friends,
To become no one with nothing left to be.
It's easy.
I'm gonna wait and watch the world die.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice.
No one believes you but you know you're right.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
They say if you don't believe in something,
Then you're gonna fall for anything.
Well, I say if you believe in anything,
You've already fallen for something.
You've had enough, you've had enough.
Well, you can't stop but you can't go on.
And no one's gonna miss you when you're gone.
So sing another song.
I'm gonna wait and watch the world die.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice.
No one believes you but you know you're right.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
The man on the TV with fear in his eyes
Says we're all just animals trying to survive.
The weakest get hunted and eaten alive.
Lock all our doors, close our windows up tight.
Cower in fear and thank God that we're so civilized.
I'm gonna wait and watch the world die.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice.
No one believes you but you know you're right.
I'm gonna wait and watch it die.
