Such A Waste


Can you spare me for a minute?
Now I'm trying to sort this out
You can't bite the hand that feeds you
When you never shut your mouth

I've been racing through these pages
Come apart from what you've read
There's no method to this madness
Turning phrases in our heads

What you can't see, it just can't be
I know it's hard, you won't believe
Slow your pace, now check your brains
Our thoughts restrained, it's always such a waste

While you only meant to help me
By reciting what went wrong
It was paved in good intentions
But these roads go on and on

It's so hard to comprehend them
Born in shoes for someone else
Though I'm thankful for the effort
No one listens very well

What you can't see, it just can't be
I know it's hard, you won't believe
Slow your pace, now check your brains
Our thoughts restrained, it's always such a waste

Why can't this be simple?
When it isn't hard for you
I'm not that fond of spotlights
With dissections to work through

You speak and they all listen
Power lies in privileged hands
For me it's not an option
If it isn't in their plans

What you can't see, it just can't be
I know it's hard, you won't believe
Slow your pace, now check your brains
Our thoughts restrained, it's always such a waste

It's always such a waste, it's always such a waste
It's always such a waste
