How Long

Well I’ve got bugs in the kitchen
Living in my cupboards and drawers
Well you ain’t gonna hear me bitchin’
When I see 'em crawling 'round on the floor

But all the same, I can’t have ‘em
And sure as there’s a moon in the sky
Well, I hid the poison all over
And how long will it take ‘em to die, oh
How long will it take ‘em to die

You meet some people that tell you
There’s a way that it always was
And if you put a why in your question
Well get ready cause here comes the because

Some equations are balanced
And some a mathematical lie
And if figures ain’t one of your talents
You’re just waiting 'round for people to die, oh
How long will it take ‘em to die

I’ve got dreams about slaying
The dragon breathing fire in my tower
But here in my castle, I’m staying
Wondering where does someone gather the power

Well it ain’t so bad with the dragon
And I don’t need a sword to get by
Now my dreams are going back on the wagon
And how long will it take ‘em to die, oh
How long will it take ‘em to die
