waiting for a war Lyrics
it feels less important when you want to wait it out
i had enough feeling give me what i want or put me on the streets
i'm getting tired of living my life like nothing's happening
talk is cheap but lies are even cheaper
so it's really me i want you to count the ways you can make it up to me
i'm getting tired of everybody talking and not doing a thing
here i am in the graveyard waiting for a war
i'm here, i'm calling out your name
i've been here before
there's nothing left to talk about but there's plenty left to do
and if it's all the same to me you know it'll be different to you
i'm getting tired of living like i'm dying while the world is moving on
here i am in the graveyard waiting for a war
i'm here, i'm calling out your name
I've been here before
pardon me i must apologize
i've been this way for quite some time
i tried to be just a long time ago
i had enough feeling give me what i want or put me on the streets
i'm getting tired of living my life like nothing's happening
so it's really me i want you to count the ways you can make it up to me
i'm getting tired of everybody talking and not doing a thing
i'm here, i'm calling out your name
i've been here before
and if it's all the same to me you know it'll be different to you
i'm here, i'm calling out your name
I've been here before
i've been this way for quite some time
i tried to be just a long time ago

"i've been misswayed(?) for quite some time"
I believe the correct lyrics are
"I've been this way for quite some time"
talking through tin cans is an amazing album not bad track to be found
the song is about moving on. it saying to stop talking about how your going to change to actually do it
its really mean?
This song is calling for a revolution, because corporate jobs make our lives trivial and miserable.
"Give me what I want or put me on the street."
"Here I am in the grave yard waiting for a war."
Here, he's hoping that people will finally rise up to change the way everything is going on.
You can also tell in the music video that this is about having a corporate job, hating it and wanting something new.
"I'm getting tired of living like I'm dying While the world is moving on."
This line shows the contradiction between our environment and how we behave within it.
"I'm getting tired of everybody talking And not doing a thing."
People talking about changing our sorry situation but not getting out and fighting it.
"There's nothing left to talk about But there's plenty left to do."
Books, audios and videos have all discussed revolution (and the need for one) and now is the time to actually bring these ideas to life.
