LYRICS

so i want to kill this waitress
she's worked her a year longer than i
if i did it fast you know that's an act of kindness

but i believe in peace
i believe in peace, bitch
i believe in peace

i want to kill this waitress
i can't believe this violence in mind
and is her power all in her club sandwich

but i believe in peace
i believe in peace, bitch
i believe in peace

i want to kill this killing wish
they're too many stars and not enough sky
boys all think she's living kindness
ask a fellow waitress
ask a fellow waitress

COMMENTS

"The Waitress is how I can't control my violence, and in this one situation, we're both equals, we're both waitresses in this song. I don't go into the details of why. Why isn't the issue. The issue is that I thought I was a peacemaker, and this violence has totally taken control of every belief system that I have. It's a very scary thing, especially after you talk about anti-violence."
-- Tori; The Baltimore Sun, '94

"So I almost got 3-5 for this one, but the bitch wouldn't live it."
-- Tori; Wolverhampton, England 05/02/94, I Love Toffee Apples bootleg

"Condiments are my favorite thing sometimes when I was lonely I'd line up all the condiments and pound them on the table and let them applaud me adding confidence to my dishes before they got cooked."
-- Tori; Under The Pink Songbook

The UK Past The Mission (Part 2) single contains a live version of The Waitress, recorded in Boston, MA on March 31, 1994. A different live version graces the To Venus And Back: Still Orbiting album, recorded during the Plugged '98 Tour.
