This is my submission for this weeks Steemit Open Mic contest by @pfunk and @luzcypher. This week I play a song by The Offspring caled 'It'll be a long time'!

...so without further ado...

'It'll be a long time'

Lyrics -

All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns, ya
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
So is the way it goes

When will the world listen to reason
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time

All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again
Heard it all before, ya
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes

Well if they tried maybe they'd see
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know you're not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
No you know you're not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see, Oh ya

I see ya
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes

When will the world listen to reason
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
I have a feeling it'll be a long time
Oh ya ya ya
