We all wanna see the great empire cut down in it’s prime
See its fruit die on the vine in prime time color time
And there are millions in this world that mercy will not touch
But they don’t mind that much that’s the way life’s always been
But you don’t wanna hear about that from me I know I know my place
And I know I don’t belong singing worthless freedom songs

It’s all a waste of time
It’s all a waste of time

Pretty girl who lives next door she don’t know how to lie
And when I look into her eyes I can see the day I’m gonna die
All the water flows from the cracks and holes in the silver reservoir
Where you’re never truly far from someone who’s exactly like you

It’s all a waste of time
It’s all a waste of time

Rock and Roll makes me feel guilty I got no defense
My sadness makes no sense
I’m getting rich and I’m making new friends
All of found is it gets colder further north you go
It’s piss and rain and snow
It’s the world I don’t want to know

It’s all a waste of time
It’s all a waste of time

Take it from me leave it behind
