Betting on Us - Francis and the Lights

This foreign interest, man, they’re running my business

They say I’ve gone too far

The conditions worsened and clouded my vision

They say I wanted too much

Thought about it for a minute and I came to the decision

That they’re probably right here

I am tired of waiting

And I want it too much

And so I’m stepping on up to the plate

And I’m betting on us all the way

They’re checking gauges, man, they’re coming in stages

They say they won’t give up

They’ve been clocking my numbers

But I’m working the summers

‘Cause I want it so much

I was down in the trenches — doing my time

Now I’m swinging for the fences — it’s all on the line

And I’m nervous and shaking

Tired and patient

And I want to go home

But no, I’m stepping on up to the plate

And I’m betting on us all the way

I’m not betting on luck, no

It’s just a lie, it’s just a lie, just a lie

‘Cause I’ve been waiting forever

But I know I can get it if I want it so much

So I’m betting on us

That’s why I’m betting on us

I’m betting on us (x3)

That’s why I’m betting on us, yeah

All the way, yeah

All the way, all the way

Betting on us

Stepping up

Goddammit, what am I waiting for?

Oh no, betting on us

Set it up

Shame on me, what am I waiting for?
