Well I been a-waitin' For far too many conversations Keep on a-hailin' for that time to come Well they see it in the news And they see it in the weather But all that is it will be shall become Well something ‘bout a king And come something ‘bout a struggle that's as good as done But it's no time to pretend Well them people getting restless With their foolish thoughts of d**h and lessness(?) Well I say good is good because it is Well Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel Well I'm still a-waitin' For that force of creation to awaken us to mold that setting sun But nothin' but hypocrites want nothin' but nothingness Telling us it's better when it's done Well that good is evil, wise is dumb, and a war that's lost is a war that's won
I can't take it any more Such a will and self-deception All for a glimpse of a heaven That you can't see right outside your door Well Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel Now I'm done a-waitin' Now it's time where we start takin' Liken to a short time in that sun ‘cause I'm tellin' you the end don't justify the meaninglessness Of all that we have done Well there's a heaven and hell inside of me There's a heaven and hell that lives and breathes Not above or far beneath So stop wishin' for the past and strivin' for the future In that moment, everything's complete Well Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel Long they go they'll tempt you with gospel Little Long put down that gospel
