How Long

How Long

There’s too much talking going on

Mouths are flappin’

and nothing’s happenin’

There’s nothing wrong with speaking your mind

but it’s gotta have a reason or rhyme

I can see the lights in your eyes

The hunt is thrillin’

Till your first killin’

Your alibi is too cut and dry

Your only care is being self-satisfied

How Long, How Long

Before it’s too late

How Long, How Long

Will you shift the blame

These wicked webs, they are your defense

You choose to weave them

And somehow believe them

You can put your old record on

But you know it’s broken, and I’ve outgrown the song

How Long, How Long

Before it’s too late

How Long, How Long

Will you shift the blame

How do you sleep at night

Haunted by a life of lies

How Long, How Long

Before it’s too late

How Long, How Long

Are you gonna make us wait, How Long

How Long, How Long

Before it’s too late

How Long, How Long

Will you shift the blame
