----------
Your perfect life's around the corner,
Sorry I got in the way.
Put on your corporate make-up
Minutes after wake-up,
And hurry your life on its way.
But I can remember
Times that were different,
Times that made more sense,
When money didn't matter
And social chit-chatter
Wasn't based upon what's already spent.
But you couldn't wait for nothin',
You couldn't just wait and see,
You couldn't wait for nothin',
Least of all me, least of all me.
Tubes tied or radical hysterectomy -
It makes no difference to me.
Babies are not maybe, baby,
Babies are negated
In your quest for corporate equality.
It's time we saw eye to eye -
What you want I cannot buy.
Well your thumb's sore from
Speed-reading "Art of War"
There, there, now don't cry.
But you couldn't wait for nothin',
You couldn't just wait and see,
You couldn't wait for nothin',
Least of all me, least of all me.
This is the clever bridge,
(Clever bridge)
It's such a clever bridge,
(Yes it is!)
It sure is.
But you couldn't wait for nothin',
You couldn't just wait and see,
You couldn't wait for nothin',
Least of all me, least of all me.Written by Lili Haydn & Peter Rafelson
She rides down Fairfax with her Mommy
Canter's on the right, the night is foggy
not foggy enough, she still sees the pain in their eyes
She makes mom explain the reason why
They live on the street, we just drive by
but not fast enough, she still sees the blame in her eyes
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes
Mom don't make that much in a day
She knows they ain't that far away
from being denied
She barely survives in this land
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes
Mom tries to explain "supply side"
not much trickles down, justice belie
the eyes of a child see through these civilized lies
Can we please take somebody home
There's room in our house where it's not cold
Why can't we please take somebody home
The little girl cries with love in her eyes
