Sitting 'round, talking 'bout old China   And how the ladies hair will go to gray   Paying for a speedy revolution   Hoping those fine lines will go away      Someone screams about abuse of power   So lonely, there was nothing left to say   Hoping for a speaking revolution   And wishing that the crimes would go away      Cross your heart and hope to die   It'll happen in the blinking of an eye   Cross your heart and hope to die   It'll happen in the blinking of an eye      Dealing with the mask of your deception   I threw that other chance away today   I'd been asking for a speedy resolution   Hoping other signs would go away      Since sitting here, talking 'bout old china   And how old ladies hair will go to gray   I'd been praying for a speedy resolution   Expecting that the time will slip away      Cross your heart and hope to die   It'll happen in the blinking of an eye   Cross your heart and hope to die   It'll happen in the blinking of an eye
