“Cast Me Aside”, tells us the story about a person who was never there for the narrator, but wants to cling to a big thing. Narrator tells them it’s not going to work out because they never gave a fuck about him.
[Verse 1]
So you
Think that you got it all figured out
I told you
You got no clue what it's all about
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well, it ain't gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well, it ain't gonna work out that way
[Chorus]
What, who, where were you
When I was down on my luck?
You know you never gave a fuck
You just cast me aside (Aside)
What, who, where were you
When I needed you?
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride
[Verse 2]
I told you, I know you
As well as you think you do
I'll show you just how easy
You are to see straight through
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well, it ain't gonna work out that way
Now you want to cling to the next big thing
Be part of the scene and ride the big machine
Well, it ain't gonna work out that way
[Chorus]
What, who, where were you
When I was down on my luck?
You know you never gave a fuck
You just cast me aside (Aside)
What, who, where were you
When I needed you?
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride
For the ride!
[Bridge]
Nothing to me, you're nothing to me!
Nothing to me, you're nothing to me!
Nothing to me, you're nothing to me!
Nothing to me, you're nothing to me!
[Refrain]
What, who, where were you?
What, who, where were you?
What, who, where were you?
What, who, where were you?
[Chorus]
What, who, where were you
When I was down on my luck?
You know you never gave a fuck
You just cast me aside (Aside)
What, who, where were you
When I needed you?
You know you never came through
And now you want to come along for the ride
For the ride! For the ride! For the
And now you wanna come along for the ride!
