The Offspring
It'll Be A Long Time
Smash (1994)

(C5)D5D5!     C5D5D5! 
All this time has whittled away
     D5C5    G5      D5D5!
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns

Superpowers flex their wings           (ti-galop, P.M.)
Hold the world on puppet strings

  C5D5            C5D5
  Egos will feed, while citizens bleed
  C5               A5   C5
  So is the way it goes

    D5        C5  D5    F5 C5        D5
    When will the world    listen to reason?
    B♭5      C5            C5   G5   D5
    I have a feeling it'll be a long time
    When will the truth come into season?
    I have a feeling it'll be a long time

    B♭5      C5            F5   C5   D5  C5  A5
    I have a feeling it'll be a long tiiime

All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes all again
Heard it all before yeah

D5D5! C5C5C5!  G5G5! D5D5D5!  x 2

Well if they tried, maybe they'd see
It'd do a little good and let the world be free
Handshake and a smile, gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move

        C5            G5          D5                    (P.M.)
But you know it's not fooling any,   one but me    x 2
You gotta make yourself see what you, want to see       (acc.)
