Logic Song / We Waited... Lyrics

i no longer
sit and wonder
i no longer
sit and cry
i no longer
need a father
i no longer
wonder why

i no longer
miss the water
i no longer
watch the sky
i just don't know
why you'd bother
i just cannot
rationalize

...

we waited for a sign
we waited for a sign
something to change our minds
we waited for a sign

no who's the bigger fool:
we who sit and drool
and wait for god to bring us food
or scavengers like you?

i couldn't answer that
with the logic that i had
so i just shrugged it off
and blamed the god of love

and waited for a sign
i waited for a sign
something to change my mind
i waited for a sign

we waited for a sign
we waited for a sign
something to change our mind
we waited for a sign

and we were cursed from the start
to having a heart
and not just a head

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Interesting lyrical content reflective of "Brave New World" where the pharaceutical companies nullify a nation, "we who sit and drool" with the drug Soma to accept complete government control. The drug was meant to surpress human emotions so that "we no longer miss the water, watch the sky, sit and wonder, sit and cry." And further supression of questioning the establishment, "why" + "rationalize." Also, "no longer need a father" indicates (possibly) that sex was for pure recreational purposes and not for procreation.

A faithless; godless people who are either scavengers or the elite using drugs to numb the human heart, eliminate love, and rid them of waiting for a "savior" who never comes.
