How Long
Whoa-oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, na, na, na, na, yeah
Whoa-oh, well
I can see it every time you come around, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
You say it every day, that things are gonna change
I don't believe a word 'cause things are just the same
You claim to be a savior, but all you bring is pain, yeah
You never listen when the people complain
How much (how long), how long (oh), should we have to wait?
(Oh, no) how long, tell me (tell me), what more can we take?
It's too long (it's too long, yeah, yeah)
It's time you open the gate (it's time you open up)
Let us in (let us in), give us freedom
You claim what you can do, yet nothing has been done
You take away their joy, leave them playing with a gun
Whether you're in disguise, always hiding from the sun, yeah
But soon, you're gonna burn when the judgment day come
How much (how much), how long (how long) should we have to wait?
How long (how long), tell me (yeah)
What more can we take? (What more can we take?)
It's too long, it's time you open the gate
Let us in (let us in, let us in), give us freedom
Ooh, na, na, na, na, nay, yeah-yeah
How long, how much more can we-
Ooh, na, na, na, na, nay, yeah-yeah
How much can we take?
I wanna know, tell me, yeah
How much, how long (how long)
Should we have to wait (should we have to wait)?
How long, tell me (tell me, yeah), what more can we take?
It's too long (what more?)
It's time (oh-oh) you open the gate (open up)
Let us in, yeah, give us freedom
You say it every day, that things are gonna change
I don't believe a word 'cause things are just the same
You claim to be a savior, but all you bring is pain, yeah
You never listen when we complain, yeah
How much, how long, should we have to wait?
(How long should we have to wait?)
How long, tell me, what more can we take? (What more can we take?)
It's too long, it's time you open the gate
Let us in (let us in), give us freedom
How much, how long, should we have to wait?
How long, tell me, what more can we take?
It's too long, it's time you open the gate
Let us in, yeah, give us freedom
Ooh, na, na, na, na, yeah
Whoa-oh, well
I can see it every time you come around, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
You say it every day, that things are gonna change
I don't believe a word 'cause things are just the same

Let us in (let us in, let us in), give us freedom
Ooh, na, na, na, na, nay, yeah-yeah
How long, how much more can we-
Ooh, na, na, na, na, nay, yeah-yeah
How much can we take?

Let us in (let us in), give us freedom
How much, how long, should we have to wait?
How long, tell me, what more can we take?
It's too long, it's time you open the gate
Let us in, yeah, give us freedom
