In the village seventh day

All God's children bow to pray

Hands together, close their eyes

Pray for mercy from the sky.



Heaven comes to those who wait

Preacher says to procreate, oh why

Keep the faith, God has a plan

Hungry child won't understand, oh my.



Time has come now.



We can't wait for you

No, we can't wait for you, no.



City where the children weep

Like a river wide and deep

Mecca for the working man

Looking for the promised land.



Leave the barren fields of home

To walk the city streets of stone, oh why

Preacher says "now hush, don't cry"

You'll be rewarded when you die.



Time has come now.



We can't wait for you

No, we can't wait for you

We can't wait forever.



By the time the meek inherit the earth

It will have lost it's worth.



No, we can't wait for you

No, we can't wait forever

We can't wait for you

No, we can't wait forever

We can't wait for you.
