[Verse 1]

Morning’s come, you watch the red sun rise

The LED still flickers in your eyes

Oh, you ought to spare your face the razor

Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you

No one’s gonna watch you as you go

From a house you didn’t build and can’t control

Oh, you ought to spare your face the razor

Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you

You ought to spare the world your labor

It’s been twenty years and no one’s told the truth

[Chorus]

So listen, oh

So listen, oh

Don’t wait

Don’t wait

So listen, oh

So listen, oh

Don’t wait

Don’t wait

[Verse 2]

So keep that list of who to thank in mind

And don’t forget the rich ones who were kind

Oh, you ought to spare your face the razor

Because no one’s gonna spare their time for you

Why don’t you spare their world a traitor?

Take your wager back and leave before you lose

[Chorus]

So listen, oh

So listen, oh

Don’t wait

Don’t wait

[Bridge]

So while the sun’s coming out

Cover ground, cover ground

And if you find some love for these clowns

Turn around, turn around

I’ll be half-asleep on the floor of a high school gym

Thinking of you and wondering if anyone else could begin

[Pre-Chorus]

To listen

Listen

Don’t wait

Don’t wait

[Chorus]

So listen, oh

So listen, oh

Don’t wait

Don’t wait
