Wasting Away

Well, the kids today, they got nothing to say

They got nothing to say, because they taught 'em that way

They want to watch them grow old

Put them in their graves

Till they're gone

They f- up your house

And then close up the mines

And they plug up their ears

And they make 'em go blind

And they walk round the street

And they don't know what time it is

Tell you it's time, it's time for a change (uh)

Are you happy in line (uh)

Or are you going insane (uh)

I say they got to be free (uh)

I say it's inside of me (uh)

Well let me show you the way (uh)

Let me show you the way (uh)

Try to track me down (uh)

Are you feeling re-filled (uh)

Hope you coming around (uh)

Couldn't tell with the sea (uh)

Wouldn't take you away (uh)

Those are making me pray (uh)

'Cause you wanna be free (uh)

'Cause you gotta be free (uh)

Yesterday, they got nothing to say

They got nothing to say, because they taught 'em that way

They have been watching grow old

Through the midnight rain to go

They walked down the street

With their hands on their head

Yeah, pulled off a gun, yeah

Can't understand what the life really holds for its people

Fearing to go

Are you happy to be here (uh)

Or is't bringing you down (uh)

Are you waiting to see (uh)

What will bring it around (uh)

It's just we're thesame (uh)

By a little bit change (uh)

We really gotta be free (uh)

Yeah, we gotta be free (uh)

Gotta be free, the way you gotta be free
