I've heard about a great big swindle I read about it in a book The book flew out the window Was later found by thieves and crooks And now they're singing Hallellujah I'm wondering just what did they find They say what's it to you Just take your place and hide and wait So I wait, I wait and wait I'm one of the few survivors In a drawer labelled "lost and found" Moon travellers and deep-sea divers Whose oxygen supply ran out Now maybe, if their gods be willing They'll give us something, fill our empty cups Sit down in the boat! Don't spill it! Or we'll just have to lie back up and wait So we wait, we wait and wait Yes, we wait and we wait, we will wait, we will wait 'til we... You can hear it in the beat they march to And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance You can tell by the way they move you It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby! And as the world moves faster Whiplashing us around and around It's quite a slow disaster And the people keep on falling down as we wait We wait, yeah - and we wait, we wait and we wait, we wait Hallellujah!
