I've heard about a great big swindle   I read about it in a book   The book flew out the window   Was later found by thieves and crooks      And now they're singin' Hallelujah   I'm wonderin' just what did they find   They say, "What's it to ya?   Just take a place in line"      And wait, so I wait, I wait and wait and I      I?m one of a few survivors   In a drawer labeled lost and found   Moon travelers and deep sea divers   Whose oxygen supply ran out      Now maybe if their Gods be willin'   They'll give us somethin', fill our empty cups   Sit down in the boat, don?t spill it   Or we'll just have to line back up      And wait, so we wait, we wait and wait, yes we wait   And we wait, we will wait, we will wait 'til we      You can hear it in the beat they march to   And you can feel the Earth shake when they start to dance   You can tell by the way they move you   It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby      And as the world moves faster   Whiplashin' us round and round   It's quite a slow disaster   But people keep on fallin' down      As we wait, we wait and we wait   We wait and we wait, we wait, Hallelujah
