가사: Ani Difranco. Imperfectly. The Waiting Song.

Your basic average super star
Is singing about justice
And peace and love
And I am glaring at the radio

Swearing, saying that's just what I was afraid of
The system gives you just enough
To make you think that you see change
They will sing you right to sleep
And then they'll screw you just the same

But I will wait, yes, I will wait for the truth
I will wait for the truth, yes I will wait for the truth

They think I make a big deal about nothing
But they still think I'm kinda cute
They joke about the status quo
To break the ice, once the ice is broken

I hope they all fall through 'cause this is no joke to me
They don't fool me with their acts of sensitivity
They too shall pass just like everyone
Who's only here for my ass

And I can't wait
Oh, I can't wait 'til they get their due

Baby I've only got a minute, baby I have to go
A minute is all my life will ever allow
Let's grow old and die together
Let's do it now because you'll do all the jobs
No one else will do and you'll step aside

And you will let me come through
You have all my respect
I'll leave it here when I go
Maybe I never told you, baby
Maybe you don't know

But maybe if we wait
If we wait things will improve
Maybe we just wait and things will improve
You know, they've got to improve

Your basic average superstar
Is singing about justice
And peace and love
And I am glaring at the radio

Swearing, saying that's just what I was afraid of
The system gives you just enough
To make you think that you see change
They'll sing you right to sleep
And then they'll screw you just the same

He says I know you have to go, you have gone before
We are fighting on two different fronts
Of the same war but no matter what else
I will do, I will wait, for you
