It'll Be A Long Time
The Offspring
Smash

---

All this time whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That’s always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
They only want what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes all again
Heard it all before yeah
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That’s always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
Well if they tried maybe they’d see
It’d do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile gets you on through
Then you turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it’s not foolin’ anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see
But you know it’s not foolin’ anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see
Oh yeah
I say yeah
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That’s always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
I’ve a feeling it’ll be a long time
Oh yi-i-i
