Name: Are We Waiting on the World to Save Me Now?
Duration: P00H04M00S
Description: The lyrics to this song are about this kitchen co-worker I had named Tommy. He was really cool, and a total hipster, and helped define the term "hipster" for me the most completely of anyone I had ever met. Searchlights rocked this song live on many occasions, it was one of my favorites to play at Tiger Bar in NW Portland during our heyday...

Are We Waiting on the World to Save Me Now?
Lyrics by Chris Baron
(orig) April 2011
©ChrisBaronMusic2014

Are we waiting on the world to save me now?
And you will know me by my passive, cockeyed stare
All this is known, and you are known to me
And you will know me by my adolescent cheek
sympathies grind under my feet

Are we waiting on the world to save me now?

This too shall pass
The burn, the crash
I am not the best, but I will last
And this too shall pass

Are we waiting on the world to save me now?
And you will know me by my sideways glitter smile
Like time will tell if you deserve the (true) shine
We are directed and dissected like a Spike Lee Joint
you will never know what is on my mind

Are we waiting on the world to save me now?
