Four kids on the curbside waiting for rides.
9:48 summer Saturday night
There's a breeze in the air you feel straight through
In this sleepy little town where there's not much to do.
Did they do some window shopping, wandering around.
Act a little stupid when there's nothing to be found.
Did they come from the movies and waiting to go home
In this way too quiet place where nobody seems to roam.
CHORUS:
9:48 summer Saturday Night
Kids are being kids under the parking lot lights.
World seems like an oyster, Mom & Dad are in fright
9:48 summer Saturday Night
One looks at the screen making future plans.
Figuring out a world where all they understand
Is their social standing by the side of the pool
In the languid lazy days before it's back to school.
(Chorus)
Will they stay at home with a movie to stream
Or sneak outside once Mom & Dad are asleep.
Drink, party, fight - things not always in sight
At 9:48 Summer Saturday Night.,
(Chorus)

Waiting for the Pivot

After playing on fear and hate mixed with chicanery
The narcissist has gained control and takes his seat
Gives appearance of order where prejudice lies
Paints himself as popular, obsessed with crowd size.
Meanwhile you're still thinking that we're in normal times.
"He's not gonna be extreme," many pundits reply.
"Once he learns how things are done he'll admit it's an act.
And become normal in his actions - a matter of fact."
While you're still...
CHORUS:
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Wants to ban folks based on religion - a sick precedent.
Seems determined to make a joke of the First Amendment
While there's things that need to get done and positions to fill
He's obsessed with his ex opponent, attacking her still.
The media still continues to normalize
Even as they get under attack from almost all sides
Feed "facts" to his followers like lions having raw meat
Faced with truth, pundit want access to cocktail parties
"Cause they're still...
(Chorus)
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
They're still waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist
The narcissist's minions have given us a glimpse
Of how his greatness just seems to benefit him
Many people are afraid who aren't Christian and white
As the narcissist's fans want to take away their rights.
"Just give him a chance." his followers reply.
Overlooking their actions while on the other side
The authoritarian person is the thing that remains
Always ready to attack and very quick to blame
While they're still.
(chorus)
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist.
Waiting for the pivot of the narcissist
