"waste" lyrics

Give the people what they want, no question
(But) They're gonna drag us to hell whether you like it or not
We cannot be stopped

Shoot yourself in the foot with the starting gun
(Hey hey) Good going
Running a race that you know just can't be won
(Hey) So be one

We're gonna waste it all away
Until we're left with nothing
I know it's not my place to say
But look what we're becoming
Yes

Take pleasure in the pain of another
It's all a choice that you make
All the ways that you could have said it better (You couldn't say it better)
Does any of it matter?

Lick your wounds that you inflict on your own
(Hey hey) I'm so sorry
You doubled down, you should have left some room to grow
(Hey) Now we know

We're gonna waste it all away
Until we're left with nothing
I know it's not my place to say
But look what we're becoming
We're gonna waste it all away
To the wall, to the wind, to the west
We all fall down

Shooting yourself in the foot with the starting gun
(Hey hey) Good going
Running a race that you know just can't be won
(Hey) It hasn't even begun

We're gonna waste it all away
Until we're left with nothing
I know it's not my place to say
But look what we're becoming
We're gonna waste it all away
Until we're left with nothing
I know it might seem far away
But look at where we're headed
Oh
