The Waiting Time
by Norman B
Deviations from the Norm
Well, I’ve been waiting for things to change for a long time, and I finally found out how to make ‘em change: Just keep waiting. But, …
When the waiting time is over
We will all be free.
When the waiting time is over,
Harmony for you and me.
When the waiting time is over
We’ll defend equality.
When the waiting time is over
We’ll befriend ecology.
When the waiting time is over
We will sing a different song.
When the waiting time is over,
‘C-Can(‘t) we all just sing along?’
When the waiting time is over
Do what’s right, not what is wrong.
When the waiting time is over
Be allowed to have a bong.
When the waiting time is over
Cops won’t be busting heads,
When the waiting time is over,
Nor rousting them from their beds.
When the waiting time is over,
Religious freedom for the dreads.
When the waiting time is over,
Free the heads and jail the feds.
When the waiting time is over
People won’t be killed by pigs,
When the waiting time is over,
Nor tortured in their brigs.
When the waiting time is over
Zigs will replace cigs.
When the waiting time is over,
We’ll dominate the major leagues.
When the waiting time is over
We will learn our lesson and, listen:
When the waiting time is over
People won’t keep turnin’ up missin’,
When the waiting time is over,
They won’ keep overstockin’ the prison.
When the waiting time is over
Oliver North’ll be tried for treason.
When the waiting time is over
We’ll have RUSSIAN-style reforms,
Like free press, and private ownership
Of homes and firms and farms,
And an opposition party …
And won’t be ruled by sellers of arms
And spies and oil and insurance
And spewers of sewers of harms.
When the waiting time is over
We will learn another way.
When the waiting time is over,
There will dawn a brand new day.
When the waiting time is over
The rich will have to pay.
When the waiting time is over
We’ll disband the CIA.
When the waiting time is over
We will hire the world a florist.
When the waiting time is over
We will massively reforest.
When the waiting time is over
We will all sing out in chorus.
When the waiting time is over,
We’ll overthrow tyrannosaurus.
