COMPLAINING ‘BOUGHT THE WAY THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN
RELATES WITH WHAT YA HAD AND OUR LOSING NOW
ALL IS OVER AND LOST IF YOU DON’T REALIZE IT SOMEHOW
WHILE AWAITING WON’T YOU PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
WILE AWAY AND YOU’LL BE ON YOUR OWN
THE LADY WHAT’S HER NAME, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HER GAME IS
SHE NEEDS SOMEONE TO BETRAY IN THEIR FINEST HOUR
SHE’LL TAKE YOU IN
“LADY GREED” AND SHE’LL FEED ON WHAT YOUR REAPING NOW
WHILE AWAITING WON’T YOU PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
WILE AWAY AND YOU’LL LOSE ALL YOU OWN
AFRAID OF JUST HOW BAD THINGS COULD REALLY BE
WE’RE TRADING MOTHER NATURE FOR MORE MAN MADE POWER
JUST TO MENTION IT
CUT THE TREES AND WE’LL BE WITHOUT THE AIR TO BREATH
WHILE AWAITING WON’T YOU PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
WILE AWAY AND YOU’LL BE ALONE
IT’S FADING, CATCH A GLIMPSE DON’T LET IT PASS YOU BY
LETS SAVE IT BEFORE IT’S GONE AND YOU WONDER WHY
DO WHAT YOU CAN GO AND GIVE IT A TRY
WHILE AWAITING WON’T YOU PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
WILE AWAY AND YOU’LL LOSE ALL YOU OWN
PERSUADED BY A POWER THAT’S TAKEN OVER NOW
ALL THE LEARNING HAS RETARDED FROM SEEING HOW
WE’RE BLOWING IT DO YOU REALIZE IT NOW
WHILE AWAITING WON’T YOU PLEASE HEAR MY PLEA
WILE AWAY AND YOU’LL LOSE ALL YOU OWN
