Long Time Waiting - Villagers

This is enough to give your money a run

Procrastinating till the kingdom come

You tell yourself that you do what you can

Well, what will you do when the shit hits the fan

They’re out to get you, all of them, excuse me but

Nobody said it was gonna be easy

I see you crying, just give me your hand

You can’t sit back when you’re taking a stand

If you believe that your time is coming

But you’re counting on your savior to come

You’re gonna be a long time waiting

You’re gonna be a long time

If you believe that it’s for the taking

But somebody’s gonna do it for you

You’re gonna be a long time waiting

You’re gonna be a long time

I could do without this talk of getting ahead

When it’s a battle just to get out of bed

My will is strong but it’s starting to break

There’s only so much a body can take

I get your message but I don’t like the tone

You can only help yourself, and you alone

If you believe that your time is coming

But you’re counting on your savior to come

You’re gonna be a long time waiting

You’re gonna be a long time

If you believe that it’s for the taking

But somebody’s gonna do it for you

You’re gonna be a long time waiting

You’re gonna be a long time

I don’t need no validation

From anyone at any cost

A trophy consolation

For something that I never lost

I need, I need to know

How to feel the way you say, you say you do

So I can give some validation to you

I don’t need no validation

From anyone at any cost

A trophy consolation

For something that I never lost

I need, I need to know

How to feel the way you say, you say you do

So I can give some validation to you

No I don’t need no validation

From anyone at any cost

A trophy consolation

For something that I never lost

If you believe that your time is coming

But you’re counting on your savior to come

You’ll be a long time waiting

You’ll be a long time

If you believe that it’s for the taking

But somebody’s gonna do it for you

You’ll be a long time waiting

You’ll be a long time
