Desperate Lyrics by Wage War

Blueprints (Anniversary Edition)

2015

[Chorus]
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door

[Verse 1]
This life is constant struggle
We have to fight just to survive
Searching for whatever makes us feel alive
I won't be another one to sit and watch the world burn
How can we say that we truly care, when we live so comfortably and still do nothing but sit and stare?
Broken, beaten, bruised, defeated, tired, and worn
We do nothing for ourselves being so self-absorbed
(Desperate!)

[Chorus]
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door

[Post-Chorus]
This is a call to arms

[Verse 2]
This life is constant struggle, but we're only focused on ourselves
Why do we ignore the ones who truly go through hell?
Every life has a purpose to serve
Every face has a name, so go be the change
(Go be the change)

We are responsible for those within our reach, so live out what you claim with words
Practice what you preach

[Chorus]
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door

[Bridge]
This is a call to the human race
Will you make a difference or just fill a grave?
This is a call to the human race
Will you make a difference or just fill a, grave?

[Chorus]
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door

[Outro]
This is a call to arms, no bliss in ignorance
