Sitting in the classroom Waiting for the teacher's hand To lead us in the Pledge of Allegience Make us understand Would we rather kick the legs Out of the chair and watch her fall? 'Cause there's no more time for her To make the call So we're gonna break down all the desks Tear down the maps And storm down the halls 'Cause it doesn't mean a thing to us at all I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting for the change I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting all the same ♪ I'm riding down the interstate Moving faster, if I can I'm trying not to instigate Any problems with The Man But they'll probably find a way To say to me, "You cannot move" So what's this guy gonna try to prove? Better not make a sudden movement Just be brute and don't act dumb While he's looking down the sides of his gun I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting for the change I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting all the same ♪ You're gonna find them in your neighborhood You're gonna find them in your shed They're gon' find you shooken up with fear Hiding underneath your bed But you'd rather they be gone for long forever Lights and sound If they never had existed That'd be fine But you gotta live with the regret Forget, for now, at least is fine 'Cause they'll find a place For you on down the line I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting for the change I don't want to wait Waiting for it, waiting all the same
