Been Waiting Lyrics by Monkey Jacket

Four Twenty-Three

2008

[Intro]
Oh!
People are so cruel
A person is a pack mule
So alone, so afraid
So he's helping with the trade
By giving work away

[Pre-Chorus]
You think you got a backbone
Invertebrate, let alone
Mindless coward with a blindness to praise
Anything that walks your way
Anything that walks your way

[Chorus]
I've been waiting far too long
I think it's time I go
Hear my footsteps trailing off
I think that you should know

[Verse]
People talkin' loud
Like they know what's what
Walk all over me
And I'll just sit and try to decide
What I should do, retaliate
Or forget it all, recalculate
Sit and try to decide
What I should do, retaliate
Or forget it all, recalculate

[Bridge]
I won't be there
The weight of the world is just too much
You can't save me
But it's not like you would

[Verse]
You will never heal me
Can you even hear me
Not likely, but you never know
But I guess it doesn't matter
Since I've already gone

[Pre-Chorus]
Still think you got a backbone
Invertebrate, let alone
Mindless coward with a blindness to praise
Anything that walks your—
Anything that walks your way
Yes, anything that gets up and walks right by your way

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I've been waiting far too long
I think it's time I go
Hear my footsteps trailing off
I think that you should know
