In the village seventh day
All god's children bow to pray
Hands together, close their eyes
Pray for mercy from the sky.
Heaven comes to those who wait
Preacher says to procreate, oh why
Keep the faith, god has a plan
Hungry child won't understand, oh my.
Time has come now.
We can't wait for you
No, we can't wait for you, no.
City where the children weep
Like a river wide and deep
Mecca for the working man
Looking for the promised land.
Leave the barren fields of home
To walk the city streets of stone, oh why
Preacher says "now hush, don't cry"
You'll be rewarded when you die.
Time has come now.
We can't wait for you
No, we can't wait for you
We can't wait forever.
By the time the meek inherit the earth
It will have lost it's worth.
No, we can't wait for you
No, we can't wait forever
We can't wait for you
No, we can't wait forever
We can't wait for you.
