lyrics

It’s one thing to be winning
and another to feel pride
A few votes here a few votes there
We’d be looking at the other side
(and we stand there)
Wondering what was on their minds
Looking at the hands of the clock in shock
Thinking how will we survive the times
Until there ain’t a doubt
That we’ve got the clout
We’ll hold you to account
We’re gonna wait you out

It’s one thing to be literal
and another to be serious
Maybe you make the trains run on time
But where are they taking you, taking us?
(and we’re inside)
Wondering how hard it’s going to get
Looking at the hands that rolled the dice
Thinking how loaded and how lost the bet
Until there ain’t a doubt
That we’ve got the clout
We’ll hold you to account
We’re gonna wait you out

It’s one thing to hold power
and another to hold consent
Wheeling and dealing advantages
One day you’ll find them spent
(and you’ll be)
Wondering what was on our minds
Looking at the hands of the clock in shock
Thinking how will you survive the times
Until there ain’t a doubt
That we’ve got the clout
We’ll hold you to account
We’re gonna wait you out
