Waiting For The Polls To Close

Seems we’re in a tight spot
It’s too long since the war stopped
And there’s no time left to lend a hand
And look who’s at the wheel with Uncle Sam
Dancing in the daylight
Morning’s such a bright night
Same sky where children play
Play their games half a world away
Light filled the sky
But I can’t remember why
Ring around the rosie
Your pockets full of holes deep
Lost it all while you sleep
And there’s even less for those out on the street
It just doesn’t seem right
Standing in the twilight
Waiting for the polls to close
The shows run by the one nobody chose
Light filled the sky
But I can’t remember why
Night came to stay
And it’s always been this way
Seems we’re in a tight spot
It’s too long since the bomb dropped
And there’s no time left to lend a hand
And look who’s at the wheel with Uncle Sam
The war hawks circle high above the lamb
A wolf in sheep’s clothing takes a stand
Waiting for the polls to close
The shows run by the one nobody chose
There’s no time left to lend a hand
And look whose at the wheel with Uncle Sam
Light filled the sky
But I can’t remember why
Night came to stay
And it’s always been this way
Light filled the sky
Now there’s no one left to cry
Night came to stay
And it’s always been this way
