I don't wanna wait 00:00
I don't wanna wait, wait 00:16
I don't wanna wait, yeah 00:17
I don't wanna wait 00:25
They say way back when knew how 00:35
But there's nothing telling you now 00:37
Just to do your right and not your wrong 00:43
When wrong is easy and right is hard 00:44
And we've all got our weaknesses 00:50
And only you know what yours is 00:54
But your tomorrows are all that seems to escape from your lips 00:56
But I don't wanna wait 01:02
Today 01:05
For something that might never, ever show its face 01:08
Again 01:13
A promise that I've heard too much already 01:18
To me 01:19
It seems ridiculous to trust in all of your games 01:25
You play 01:28
It's one life, one world, one chance 01:30

I don't wanna wait, wait 01:42
I don't wanna wait, yeah 01:49
No, I don't no, whoa no 01:56
I don't wanna wait yep, yeah-eah 01:57
Moving forward to right now 02:03
A government that let you down 02:08
A racist leader, no one trusted 02:12
An army that's bigger than us 02:16
And a poverty on a global scale 02:19
A fragile world with fragile air and 02:23
Fragile water, I'm sure they'll put off 'til tomorrow 02:27
But I don't wanna wait 02:33
Today 02:34
For something that might never, ever show its face 02:35
Again 02:44
A promise that I've heard too much already 02:50

It's one life, one world, one chance 03:02
And I don't wanna wait, wait 03:04
I don't wanna wait, wait 03:13
I don't wanna wait for you and your games now 03:20
No, I don't, no whoa, no 03:24
I just can't wait, yeah, wait 03:28
I just can't 03:33
I'm skipping forward to the ending 03:35
To that point all too impeding to that moment 03:39
That all that stops, that one day, when that bottom drops 03:42
And we remember our voices, had a chance 03:51
Yeah, we had our choice but time is a luxury 03:55
We as a people, we might not no longer afford 04:01
So, I don't wanna wait 04:07

There's not enough of time 05:07
So, I don't wanna wait, wait 05:08
You know I've got a lot on my mind 05:13
So, I can't wait, wait 05:15
Have to reach the end of the line 05:16

Lyrics:

[English]

I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait, wait

I don't wanna wait, yeah

I don't wanna wait

They say way back when knew how

But there's nothing telling you now

Just to do your right and not your wrong

When wrong is easy and right is hard

And we've all got our weaknesses

And only you know what yours is

But your tomorrows are all that seems to escape from your lips

But I don't wanna wait

Today

For something that might never, ever show its face

Again

A promise that I've heard too much already

To me

It seems ridiculous to trust in all of your games

You play

It's one life, one world, one chance

And I don't wanna wait, wait

I don't wanna wait, wait

I don't wanna wait, yeah

No, I don't no, whoa no

I don't wanna wait yep, yeah-eah

Moving forward to right now

A government that let you down

A racist leader, no one trusted

An army that's bigger than us

And a poverty on a global scale

A fragile world with fragile air and

Fragile water, I'm sure they'll put off 'til tomorrow

But I don't wanna wait

Today

For something that might never, ever show its face

Again

A promise that I've heard too much already

To me

It seems ridiculous to trust in all of your games

You play, yep

It's one life, one world, one chance

And I don't wanna wait, wait

I don't wanna wait, wait

I don't wanna wait for you and your games now

No, I don't, no whoa, no

I just can't wait, yeah, wait

I just can't

I'm skipping forward to the ending

To that point all too impeding to that moment

That all that stops, that one day, when that bottom drops

And we remember our voices, had a chance

Yeah, we had our choice but time is a luxury

We as a people, we might not no longer afford

So, I don't wanna wait

Today

For something that might never, ever show its face

Again

A promise that I've heard too much already

To me

It seems ridiculous to trust in all of your games

You play, yep

It's one life, one world, one chance

And I don't wanna wait, wait

There's not enough of time

So, I don't wanna wait, wait

You know I've got a lot on my mind

So, I can't wait, wait

Have to reach the end of the line

So, I don't wanna wait, wait

Oh, I'm not fine

Don't wanna wait, don't wanna wait

Don't wanna wait, don't wanna

It's not for me, it's not for me, it's not for me

And I know I can't wait, who want, oh

Don't wanna wait, don't wanna

It's not for, no, I know it's not for me, no

Don't wanna wait, don't wanna wait, don't wanna

Don't wanna wait, don't wanna wait, it's not for me

And I know I can't wait

Until all your games end (no, I don't, no whoa, no)

That's now, and I don't wanna wait
