Waste of Breath Lyrics

You paint your leather jacket but it comes off in the rain
And the more you cut your hair, the more it grows again.
The badges you pin on yourself fall off or start to rust
And the more they take the piss, the less people you can trust.

It's the story of your life and the end of it's your death
And every word that's in-between is just a waste of breath.

You don't know who you might have been or who you now should be,
Or what you ought to write on walls or why you wanna be free,
And then you start to panic cos the inspiration's there
But you're not sure how to use it and anyway no-one seems to care.

It's the story of your life and the end of it's your death
And every word that's in-between is just a waste of breath.

You're the classic all-round failure who never seems to win,
You'd like to right a book but you're not sure how to begin.
It's the story of your life and the end of it's your death
And every word that's in-between is just a waste of breath.

It's the story of your life and the end of it's your death
And every word that's in-between is just a waste of breath.
