The Once And Future King - Bloc Party

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 fire-brand 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
