lyrics

I'm in no hurry to see how this ends
Your minds seem made up
Well I guess that depends
If you think I
Would just stand by
Whining and pining away

I know it ain't easy
You're feeling betrayed
By all those tomorrows
That became yesterdays
Don't make no
Mistake though
We go on
'Til we've won
The day

Because in every town
For miles around
They're singing out
How long can this go on?

Don't try to stop me
Don't even pretend
This whole place is broken
But some breaks can mend
How can you
Continue
To do as you do
Anyway

We've got so much desire
But not enough hope
I'm so sick and tired
I'm struggling to cope
With useless
Excuses
Let's get on and do this
Today

Because in every town...

How long can this go on?
How long do we bow down?
How long until we're strong?
How long can this go on?

You think closing your eyes
Will help you walk through the dark
I don't mean to chastise
But you're wide of the mark
And sooner or later
All you hesitaters must choose

Because in every town...

How long can this go on?
How long do we bow down?
When do we right this wrong
How long can this go on?
