[B] [Em]
[E] With all that long waiting, my time, my waiting, I didn't groove.
Must have spent a great deal of time drinking, but I can't go on, don't be a proof.
Rules I've pressed, I own that, just a stop sign, so I'm out of the band.
I'm about to go and punch my ass, drink a jug of chalk, and shit in the [Em] band.
[A] Now this long time, [E] [A]
[B] I've been here for this long [A] time.
[E] [A]
[E] [Eb] [Em]
I've been a dreamer, but the streets ain't that cheap, they're wild.
Street band, black band, 3D street band, shake it, man, wild.
They all make one or two jazz, I [E] love these enemies.
I don't know what you're talking about, too much social treatment, and that's the way I bury [A] it.
And this long time, I've been [E] here [A]
[D] [E] [B] [A]
[E] [A]
[E] [Em] for this long time.
[E] [Bm] [Em]

Sweet, I wanna rock in your corner, there'll be no other guy to release.
I can't get some glass here, but let me rest in peace.
