"WASTELAND COUNTRY" lyrics
The milk is sour
The sheets are stained
The coffee's cold
The news is fake
The world's on fire
It can't be saved
Can't look at it
And can't look away
There he is
Oh, there he is
All alone
Begging for money
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Living in shit
In the wasteland country
The kids are stoned
They misbehave
The cop's on trial
He just made a mistake
The billionaire
Bought a city today
The bank just called
The bills are late
There he is
Oh, there he is
Swinging his fists
Like a big, dumb monkey
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Living in fear
In the wasteland country
Year after year
He comes further undone
We fill him with fear
And we give him a gun
Send him to war
Where he never comes home
Nobody cares
When he dies all alone
There he is
Oh, there he is
Born without a soul
Like a dead man walking
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Dying all alone
For the wasteland country
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Ooh
Alright
Now listen
I told you
All protesters should just go home
(We're not in the mood to talk today)
Can you wait just a minute?
I'm tired from staring at my phone
And I don't even care
What's really happening
I made it
You didn't!
Don't seem fair?
It isn't!
It's just a game to me
A picture on a movie screen
You want it?
I sell it
And now it's got a higher fee
You're just a joke to me
I laugh and watch you on TV
(Look at him go)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Ooh
Alright, alright, alright, alright
No mercy
No handouts
And most of all, no sympathy
As long as I've got shelter, water, food and gasoline
I don't care what's happens
To anybody else but me
They're only real, when I open up a magazine
(Look at him go)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Look at him go
(Look at him go)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
Living in a wasteland
(Living in a wasteland)
The sheets are stained
The coffee's cold
The news is fake
The world's on fire
It can't be saved
Can't look at it
And can't look away
There he is
Oh, there he is
All alone
Begging for money
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Living in shit
In the wasteland country
The kids are stoned
They misbehave
The cop's on trial
He just made a mistake
The billionaire
Bought a city today
The bank just called
The bills are late
There he is
Oh, there he is
Swinging his fists
Like a big, dumb monkey
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Living in fear
In the wasteland country
Year after year
He comes further undone
We fill him with fear
And we give him a gun
Send him to war
Where he never comes home
Nobody cares
When he dies all alone
There he is
Oh, there he is
Born without a soul

Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Dying all alone
For the wasteland country
Look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Oh, look at him go
Oh, look at him go
