You'd think by now, I'd learn there's no reward

No change for the martyr that nobody asked for

A self-fulfilling prophecy assures

We're all left craving more

On glowin' slow dance floors

Take time

Be content to wait in line

Pull the wool and you might find

Their audience nice

But it's a lie

And it's a waste

We've got an eye

We have our place

Unsure we'll win

So let's begin

The papers kept me ready on my toes

A burnin' interest shows red passion for my foes

They say we're living in a fairytale

A quiet fight won't sell, so riot will prevail

Take time

Be content to wait, it's fine

Pull the wool and you won't mind

Seven years gone by

Without a dime

Without a page

But I've got time

And got no shame

A lifetime spent

Just observin'

Take time

Be content to wait in line

Pull the wool and please don't cry

Everything is fine

But it's a lie

And it's all fake

We'll have our time

We'll find our place

No excuses

So let's do this
