Waiting for the occasion to make it all right
Put it up on the stage and set it alight
Will the center hold
Is it a diamond
Or just fool's gold
If we're gonna go
Be good to know
Wake up and magnify, see it in hard light
Put
Why be the one who withers
At the sight of opposition
Why hang my effigy
I'm here
I mind comparison
To complacent ones
I'm the son of one whose shoulders bear your boot print
Waiting for the audience to voice their delight
If they resist we're going
Why be the one who withers
At the sight of opposition
Why hang my effigy
I'm here
I mind comparison
To complacent ones
I'm the son of one whose shoulders bear your boot print
Canned laughs last
