  • I've heard the rumors that the rumors all were true
    They may be looking for me (they may be looking for me)
    But they're coming for you (but they're coming for you)
    I'll paint a picture you can better understand
    They promise diamonds (they promise diamonds)
    But they pay in sand

    It goes on and on and on and on and on
    (An old broken record stuck on the same song)
    It goes on and on and on and on and on
    (You all know it's wrong but you're singing along)

    (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
    I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
    I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this
    I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)
    Forever after, this disaster
    Bring the afterlife

    You'd cut your nose off just to spite your fuckin' face, ah
    That's who you are (that's who you are)
    You know your place (you know your place)
    You let them lead you by the throat with broken hands
    So how's the view beneath their shoe (and what's your plan)

    It goes on and on and on and on and on
    (An old broken record stuck on the same song)
    It goes on and on and on and on and on
    (We all know it's wrong but we're singing along)

    (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
    I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
    I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this
    I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)
    Forever after, this disaster
    Bring the afterlife

    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
    I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven
    I don't wanna wait
    I don't wanna wait

    I don't wanna wait for heaven to save us
    I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to save us
    I don't wanna wait
    I don't wanna wait

    (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change me
    I don't wanna have to wait for the fall (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change things
    I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait (I don't wanna wait)
    I don't wanna wait for heaven to change this
    I don't wanna have to fall on the knife (I don't wanna wait)
    Forever after, this disaster
    Bring the afterlife
