Waste of time Lyrics

There have been many wisemen
And many songs were sung
They gave their best to change
A greater effect there was none
The sad thing is
The more engaged you try to tell
The more they think you've lost your mind
And the more they repel

So what can I do
I tried everything REF
What can I say
I've said it all
Will anybody listen
Can they take it
How long can I stand tall

You cannot tell people
That there's more than how they do
If they never had the chance to look
From this different point of view
I'd like to reach you, really
But little chance to make you see
Cause when I walked in your shoes
They had no chance to convince me

REF

You tell me hey man
Quite good that's what you say
But if thats all I can evoque
I wont waste my energy
You might not find my words cool
Or strange or even crappy
But why, when I believe in jah,
Am I so fuckin happy?

REF

What can I do
I tried everything
A hundred words and nothing
Left to say
They hear and don't listen
All they do is talk a lot
Ain't gonna waste my energy
I better shut up and do my pay
