Wastin' Songtext

von MrNorth

Live on the sunny side,
Where the stars don't shine.
You're drunk and twisted,
So fuckin' wasted.
You're from the emerald isle,
You'd swear you swam the Nile.
I know you need your life
But it's a waste of time.

After so many years
Of automatic jeers
And coverin' up of tears
With your synthetic shears,
You've paved the boulevard
With good intentions
In your forever search
For bar extensions.

If this is healthy,
If this will save me,
Bring me to safety,
I'll start behavin'.
I know you need your life,
But it's a waste of time.
Stop me wastin'
Away.

And there's his trophy kept
A dusty cabinet
He'll raise a can to it
He won't let time forget.
The ink surrounds the scars, that
He's collected in bars
Time has let him forget
This man's a walking wreck.

If this is healthy,
If this will save me,
Bring me to safety,
I'll start behavin'.
I know you see my life
As just a waste of time.
Stop me wastin'

If they're so healthy
If this will save me
Bring me to safety
I'll start behavin'.
I know you need your life
But it's a waste of time
Stop me wastin'
Away.

And on the walls inside
Pictures of all the lives
That have been pushed aside--
Our country's suicide.
No one believes the smiles
You force on sharpened aisles.
Who knows what you've left out
From your nights on the town?

And at the moment you fall through the door wasted
She's in her corner while you vomit on the pavement.
Tonight the superstar's thrown his towel in
So what about his life
Alleged waste of time?

If they're so healthy
If this will save me
Bring me to safety
I'll start behavin'.
I know you need your life
But it's a waste of time
Stop me wasting
Away.
