Waiting for the Shit to Burn
Written by Alec Patric on 12-12-2009

In Copenhagen our great leaders
stand and scream to learn,
while I’m just kicking back
waiting for the shit to burn.
Economic crisis hits dope deals
costs more than most can earn,
so I’m just smoking crack
waiting for the shit to burn.
Democracy spreads like cancer
just wait till it’s your turn,
freedom lovers drinking Jack
waiting for the shit to burn.
In the days of tribulation
judgment has been adjourned,
God’s just kicking back
waiting for the shit to burn.
