[Verse 1]
A certain shade of green
Tell me, is that what you need?
All signs around, they 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

[Chorus]
Are you going to stand around 'til 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?

[Verse 2]
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 passed for hand-me-downs
Choose anew, please evolve, take flight
[Chorus]
Are you gonna stand around 'til 2012 A.D.?
What are you waiting for, a certain shade of green?
I think I grew a gray watching you procrastinate
