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 sources 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 gray
watching you procrastinate
what are you waiting for
a certain shade of green?

Would a written invitation signed,
"choose now or lose it all"
sedate your hesitation?
or inflame and make you stall?
you've been raised in limitation
but that glove never fit quite right
the time has past for hand-me-downs
choose anew, please evolve, take flight

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

Green, what are you waiting for?
what are you waiting for?
a written invitation?
a public declaration? yeah
a private consolation? whoooa
remember when you procrastinate
you choose last
I think I grew a gray
watching you procrastinate

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