Bloc Party - The Once and Future King lyrics

[Bloc Party - The Once and Future King lyrics]

Well, I guess this will be dismissed
As bitterness and sour grapes

Champion grudge-bearer
Too much time with my own thoughts
It should be my name on their lips
But, it's not

And I will wait
For my turn to come 'round again
And I will wait however long it takes
However long it takes

See, you're gonna be the next big thing
All the young girls you could ever want

I heard your song on the radio
Like a firebrand on my skin
So the war has begun a pox on your houses

And I will wait
For my turn to come 'round again
And I will wait however long it takes
However long it takes

I say, "Round of applause" I say
"Round of applause" (The new king of baloney
Says whatever he wants)
I say, "Round of applause" I say
"Round of applause" (Objection overruled)
Passive yet aggressive
Drunk on schadenfreude
Success has been cruel to me
My time will come again

And I will wait
For my turn to come 'round again
And I will wait ha ha, oh oh oh
Ha ha, oh, oh oh oh
