You know it's 9 AM and I've been waiting for you wondering what you might say
I've got the guards out just in case there's trouble but you know I know you wouldn't dare
Why don't you sit down, and take a breath mint? You think you're headed for the cross
But take your robe off take out the thorns it's just about some money lost
And if the children they keep crying and if they stumble out into the streets and if the old men grab their sabres and mumble something about how they would never retreat you tell them
It just the winter turning into spring but when the summer comes you keep 'em waiting now just waiting for the bell to ring
And if the streets begin to crumble and the poor begin to wash away and the children lose some culture well, it has happened before and it'll be ok, oh…
You know we're not scared of what is coming of what is coming from the streets
You know we're not scared of what could happen if you leave us standing on our feet
But if I gave you a number I'd be lying and if I give you a dollar I'll be damned and if I sell my firstborn son to the pharoah do you think that we could stay stay here in the promised land?
I'm just waiting for the bell to ring
I'm just standing here in my corner, waiting for the bell to ring
I'm just lying here on the floor, just waiting for the bell to ring
I'm just sitting here, tied up in the corner, waiting for the bell to ring
I'm just lying here on the floor, just waiting for the bell to ring
I'm just sitting here, tied up in the corner, waiting for the bell to ring
