WAIT IN LINE FOR YOUR TURN TO CRY
WAIT IN LINE FOR YOUR TURN TO CRY
Step right up and have a chair
Take a number ,treat this with care
Your time will come to deliver common despair
Professing to the world , all that’s not fair
Wait in line for your turn to cry
Because the whole world , is before you
They all have numbers
A numerical right
So wait in line for your turn to cry
Expediency is expected
The next inline waits with the
Inexpedience of seconds
OK I am sick of this sweet poetry
Let me tell it like it is
Who cares if you’re life is unfair
Who cares if you mismanage your affairs
Who cares about nails and you’re hair
Can you please wait inline for your turn to cry
Step right up and have a chair
Take a number ,treat this with care
Your time will come to deliver common despair
Professing to the world , all that’s not fair
Wait in line for your turn to cry
Because the whole world , is before you
They all have numbers
A numerical right
So wait in line for your turn to cry
Expediency is expected
The next inline waits with the
Inexpedience of seconds
OK I am sick of this sweet poetry
Let me tell it like it is
Who cares if you’re life is unfair
Who cares if you mismanage your affairs
Who cares about nails and you’re hair
Can you please wait inline for your turn to cry
