Song Lyrics

Sitting in the classroom, waiting for the teacher's hand
To lead us in the Pledge Allegience, make us understand
Would we rather kick the legs out of the chair and watch her fall?
'Cause there's no more time for her to make the call

So we're gonna break down all the desks, tear down the maps, and storm down the halls
'Cause it doesn't mean a thing to us at all

I don't wanna wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't wanna wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same

I'm riding down the interstate, moving faster, if I can
I'm trying not to instigate any problems with The Man
But they'll probably find a way to say to me, "You cannot move"
So what's this guy gonna try to prove?

Better not make a sudden movement
Just to prove it and don't act dumb
While he's looking down the sides of his gun

I don't wanna wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't wanna wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same

You're gonna find them in your neighborhood, you're gonna find them in your shed
They're gonna find you, shooken up with fear, hiding underneath your bed

But you'd rather they be gone for long forever, lights and sound
If they never had existed, that'd be fine

But you gotta live with the regret
Forget, for now, at least, is fine
'Cause they'll find a place for you on down the line

I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting for the change
I don't want to wait, waiting for it, waiting all the same
