One of the ‘heaviest’ songs on the album; “Don’t Wait” expresses Neck Deep’s point of view on modern politics. It portrays a divided world with corruption and violence, a world where the many are manipulated by the few, a world with an indifferent society. It’s a call for everyone to open their eyes...
[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
Disrupt and keep dividing, the government is lying
I'm not gonna be a fallacy of this society
Turn off your TV station, that's not real information
Trying to define the human mind, it's like puppetry
And they've got you by your strings, playing God for money
A sorry, sad charade, you can see right through it
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
Don't wait for anyone to say it for you
Say it for yourself
What if God was the beggar in disguise?
Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]
Suspend your disbelief, are you paying close attention?
If you blink, then you might miss their tricks and their deception
Distrust and disobey the lies they say 'cause all the world's a stage
And if you choose to read the news, then you must question everything
And they've got you on your knees, they've got your milk and honey
Then we put them on parade and celebrate what's coming
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
Don't wait for anyone to say it for you
Say it for yourself
What if God was the beggar in disguise?
Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
[Bridge: Sam Carter]
No kings, no queens, no justice, no peace
Dig deep, believe, the truth will set you free
No kings, no queens, no justice, no peace
Dig deep and see the government is lying
[Chorus: Ben Barlow & Sam Carter]
Don't wait for anyone to say it for you
Say it for yourself
Yeah, what if God was the beggar in disguise?
Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
[Outro: Ben Barlow & Sam Carter]
No kings, no queens, no justice, no peace
Dig deep, believe, the truth will set you free
Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
No kings, no queens, no justice, no peace
Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?
(Would it make any difference? Would you open your eyes?)

In an interview with Impericon, the band shared the following:
We wanted to do something interesting. We wanted to kind of cross over a little bit and we thought, if you’re going to have a guest it needs to be someone that adds something for the song. Someone that is something that you need somethi...
In Kerrang!’s interview, Ben said:
Dani [Washington, drummer] wrote this song. In the past, it had been one member and my brother writing all the songs, but on this record, we had more freedom to share ideas. We always have a punkier song on every release. I’d say this is more of a political song t...
