Well we all gonna see a great empire Cut down in its 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 Cause that's the way life's always been But you don't wanna hear 'bout that from me, I know, I know my place And God know I don't belong Singing a worthless freedom song It's all a waste of time It's all a waste of time The pretty girl who lives next door, She don't know how to lie When I look into her eyes, I can see the day I'm gonna die All that water flows through the cracks and holes in the silver reservoir Where your 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 'n' Roll makes me feel guilty I've got no defense My sadness makes no sense I'm gettin' rich and I'm makin' new friends All I've found is it gets colder further north you go It's pissin' 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 You take it from me You leave it behind Ah, you take it from me You leave it behind Ah, you take if from me You leave it behind
