There's a riot down in the street below
There's a riot in my head
Everybody wants to save the world but you save yourself instead
I'l save myself for you if you want but I ask myself for how long
I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth but don't you get me wrong

I wonder how long must I wait

I'm bowed but unbroken and the future looks bright
But I still need a little push just to help me through the night
I stand in the gaze of my former days but I hope you don't get me wrong
I'm bowed but unbroken but I ask myself for how long

I wonder how long must I wait

I'm gonna change I'm gonna burn my bridges
You're gonna see the change in me
Still there's a question in heart can the people change
Or is it just me?

There's a riot down in the street below and I let it in to my head
Every one wants to save the world but you please yourself instead
L'll please you now for as long as I can but I ask myself for how long
And I'm hanging on until the best of my love but don't you get me wrong

I wonder how long must I wait
