In the village seventh day
All gods 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 wont understand, oh my.
Time has come now.
We cant wait for you
No, we cant 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, dont cry"
Youll be rewarded when you die.
Time has come now.
We cant wait for you
No, we cant wait for you
We cant wait forever.
By the time the meek inherit the earth
It will have lost its worth.
No, we cant wait for you
No, we cant wait forever
We cant wait for you
No, we cant wait forever
We cant wait for you.
