I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

Once again, the time is right
To look to the past with clear hindsight
To kick yourself for doing what you're told
To smoke up all your medicine,
To piss off your last few friends,
To become no one with nothing left to be
It's easy

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

They say if you don't believe in something,
Then you're gonna fall for anything
Well, I say if you believe in anything,
You've already fallen for something
You've had enough, you've had enough
Well, you can't stop but you can't go on
And no one's gonna miss you when you're gone
So sing another song

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die

The man on the TV with fear in his eyes
Says we're all just animals trying to survive
The weakest get hunted and eaten alive
Lock all our doors, close our windows up tight
Cower in fear and thank God that we're so civilized

I'm gonna wait and watch the world die
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
Caught in a contract, and caught in a vice
No one believes you but you know you're right
I'm gonna wait and watch it die
