I'm the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
[Verse 2]

Wake up and take warning
Congressmen and kings
I'm the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
Watching, waiting in the wings
[Chorus]
I'll tell the real story
I'm the bird that sings
I'm the whistleblower
Wake up and take warning
Congressmen and kings
I'm the whistleblower
Waiting in the wings
Watching, waiting in the wings
Watching, waiting in the wings
