Lyrics for Tin Legs & Tin Mines

I'm gonna wait for the moment to come I'm gonna wait till we all stop from running Boxed in like candles, polar bear pride Turning to terror as the script is read out Unwilling actors, accomplished protractors will shout I'm gonna wait till we reach the sky Tin legs and tin mines, anyone cries Cry in the hope that there'll be tomorrow Waiting around there must be a time Time to start thinking and working it out Come with me now, come with me now, we'll be laughing Who's running the world today? I'm gonna wait till they knock on my door I'm gonna wait till they dig up the floor boards Poland in Disneyland, wet dream control Super computer, the new contraband I'm gonna wait, we must make a stand Come with me now, stand with me now one more time (Rotsey/Moginie/Garrett)
