Gonna Be A Long Time - John Butler Trio

Well everybody’s lookin for something they can’t find

Walking straight ahead blind folded production line

Onyl taking time for one type of shoe shine

Don’t look left/right now you got a street fine

Everybody lookin for just a little more

Working late nights trying to fight off the day glow

Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show

Driving in the fast lane lookin for the slow-mo…

Oh whats in store I don’t know anymore

Oh what’s inside 'cos I can’t hide from it now more

Oh what you see well it’s not me anymore

Oh I don’t know well I don’t know man anymore

Because I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time

But you don’t take no ones advice, gonna be a long time you

Where were you, you weren’t listenin, gonna be a long time

Gonna be a long time

So now your face down, face lookin like a frying pan

Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man

Beating your chest just like you’re king kong but you’re just a gui-tar

no-string no-song

Feeling free like ya don’t even know it, man you’re towing the line hoping you

just don’t blow it

Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it

even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame

Here we go again, same old shit just another name

Looking at the destiny there in your palm

But now you got your strings but you got no song

So sing, sing, sing — shake it like a chicken wing

It’s not what you get it’s about what you bring-bring-bring

So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you’re willing

and you’re able!

Oh what’s in store I don’t know anymore

Oh what’s inside 'cos I can’t hide from it no more

Oh what you see well it’s not me anymore

Oh I don’t know, I don’t know anymore because I tell you once I tell you twice,

gonna be a long time

But you don’t take no one’s advice, gonna be a long time

You, where were you, you weren’t listening, gonna be a long time

Gonna be a long time
