Lyrics
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
you watch wild fires burn, the flames will soon be here
as herds of deer run to escape
fire fighters told you to get out yesterday
now you’re treading water in a lake
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
seven hippies standing wearing signs
handcuffed to each other as a human chain
nobody can get into their offices today
seven hippies caused a big delay
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
if you have something to fall back on you’ll fall back on it
nothing to lose may be nothing to lose
but in the end its still nothing
I played all of my cards, I stayed in every hand
I never folded, ante’d up and made my stand
but when your luck runs out, you have no argument
you pay your bill and go on home
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
Don’t Die in the Waiting Room of the Future
