Taking Too Long Lyrics by Wipers

Youth of America

1981

[Verse 1]
Didn't realize the sign
Because it was a sign of the times
What was coming from the sky?
You never, ever change your mind

[Chorus]
'Cause it's taking so long

[Verse 2]
Didn't realize the crime
Thought you had it mastermind
What you seek is what you find
There's no one else because you're blind

[Chorus]
And it's taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking, taking, taking
Taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking, taking, taking

[Verse 3]
Didn't realize this time
What is really on top of your mind?
When they're coming from the sky
You never, ever change your mind

[Chorus]
'Cause it's taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking, taking, taking
Taking so long
It's taking so long
It's taking, taking, taking
Taking, taking
Taking, taking
Taking, taking
Taking so long
