Lyrics

MAN IN WAITING

When we did at the time
What we thought was right
They called us crazy
Protesting principles we didn't like
And other laws
That seemed so hazy

Sometimes being yourself
Well it doesn't work out right
Doesn't matter who you are
Everybody seems uptight
But I know that in the end
My ideas they'll prove right
And I'm just a man in waiting
Yes I'm just a man in waiting

When we went off to war
We were so damn sure
That we were right
And when we got back home
After being so alone
We were displaced in time

Sometimes being yourself
Well it doesn't work out right
Doesn't matter who you are
Everybody's so uptight
But I know that in the end
My ideas they'll prove right
And I'm just a man in waiting
Yes I'm just a man in waiting

And what do they want from me
Is it peace or war
Maybe I'm too blind to see
What they are looking for
Looking for

As history repeats itself
And I sit back
I'm just a man in waiting
Hoping for once we've learned
Our lessons well
And do what we can
To stop wars from raging

Seems like the world
Is so damn uptight
Detente's passe
Everybody wants to fight
But I know that in the end
My ideas they'll prove right
And I'm just a man
That's right
I'm just a man
That's right
I'm just a man in waiting
I'm waiting
