The Get Up Kids

The Get Up Kids are an American alternative rock band from Kansas City, Missouri. Formed in 1995, the band was a major player in the mid-90's emo scene, otherwise known as the "second wave" of emo music. As they gained prominence, they began touring with bands such as Green Day and Weezer before becoming headliners themselves, eventually embarking on international tours of Japan and Europe. They founded Heroes & Villains Records, an imprint of the successful indie rock label Vagrant Records. While the imprint was started to release albums by The Get Up Kids, it served as a launching pad for several side-projects such as The New Amsterdams and Reggie and the Full Effect. more »

I watched it all come crashing down 
On the verge of a world profound
Standing on unstable ground 
Adding insult to irony
I think it's really gonna happen this time
Calls on the company dime
Reluctance ties up the line 
With irresponsibility

No matter save for a friend 
No argument can amend
Irreplaceable but in the end
One star player doesn't save the team

Now you're open to attack
Our burden rests on your back
Replace, re-track responsibility

I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this

Anonymous until the ending
Spent a long, long time pretending
And a longer day spent accepting 
What the world ahead would store
You only learn but not believing 
That the industry is unforgiving 
Everything that you've been giving 
Isn't what if was before

I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this

Replace, re-track
Replace, re-track
Replace, re-track

I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
I'm still waiting for (I'm still waiting for)
You to get over this
