Am               F
Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby
Am                      F
Beat the fate-walls enclosing you, maybe
Am                   F
God will unlock the cage of learning
     E7       Dm7
for you, for you
Am               F
Fight 'til your fists bleed, baby
Am                      F
Kick and scream at the wicked things, maybe
E7                   Dm7                    A#
God will unlock the door you need to walk through

When will it happen, baby?
It could be near, but then maybe
It could be far

Chorus:
G                   D#                  D
Here we are in the waiting room of the world
        G#                                G
We will wait until you call our name out loud
        D#                  D
In the waiting room of the world
        G#                                G
We will wait until you call our name out loud

And the battle will never end well
You can't marry our heaven to your hell
We, Prolific, and you, the Devourer, need
To see
Some things are sacred, baby
Why have you gone and trampled them lately?
I guess it's just all a part of your way

                G#
You should be ashamed

I'm getting tired of fighting
I guess I should ask
"Do I go quietly down?
Do I kick, do I scream when I'm bound?
Are you coming to open the door?
Are you near?
Are you near?
Is it far?"

Chorus

In the waiting room of the world
