The Big Push - Blue Rodeo

Tell tell me the reasons why

tell me every secret you’ve been told

cause everybody knows they’re dangerous

Hey let me try that wonder stuff

the stuff that lets you look at them and nod

smile and say thank god it wasn’t us

When it all goes to pieces

and it won’t be long

once you’ve had your fun

we’ll still be sitting here

waiting 'til the big push comes

Now the moment we’ve been waiting for

the moment that you’ll finally realise

your promises are lies

they turn to dust

Time time changes everything

can turn you from a hero to a dog

living in a fog like the rest of us

When it all goes to pieces

and it won’t be long

once you’ve had your fun

we’ll all just sit around

wait until the big push comes

Write write me a pretty poem

make believe that paradise is here

future’s coming clear

sun through the clouds

And when it all goes to pieces

and it won’t be long

once you’ve had your fun

we’ll still be sitting here

waiting 'til the big push comes

and when it all goes to pieces

and it won’t be long

once you’ve had your fun

we’ll all just sit around

and wait until the big push comes
