lyrics:

A certain shade of green,
        tell me, is that what you need ?
        All signs around say move ahead.
        Could someone please explain to me your ever
        present lack of speed?
        Are your muscles bound by ropes?
        Or do crutches cloud your day?
        My soures say the road is clear,
        and street signs point the way.

Are you gonna stand around 'till 2012 A.D.?
        What are you waiting for, a certain shade
        of green?
        I think I grew a grey watching you
        procrastinate.
        What are you waiting for, a certain shade
        of green?

Would a written invitation
        signed, "choose it or lose it all",
        sedate your hesitation?
        Or inflame and make you stall?
        You've been raised in limitation
        but the glove never fit quite right.
        The time has passed for hand-me-downs,
        choose anew, please evolve,
        take flight.
        What are you waiting for???
        A written invitation?
        A public declaration?
        A private consolation?
