Scholars say the man is best known by his ways,
Well I hope no one is watching, because I'm not myself today.
But this chip upon my shoulder, takes a toll upon my face
Pretty soon all that I knew will begin to fade away.
How long must I wait for you to come, oh yeah
My mask is all but faded
Well My hands are fare from clean
There is no truth strong enough to hide the things I've seen,
I've heard the cries of many where nothing has been done,
It's hard to lift a finger when you're holding smoke and gun.
How long must I wait for you to come, oh yeah
How long must I wait for you to come around, to come around again
I step back and move on with my life,
At least that's what I'd like to do if I only knew how.
I'll say you're burning left to right,
And I keep losing track of daylight, beaming in my eyes.
How long must I wait for you to come, oh yeah
Well how long must I wait for you to come around, to come around again
