Wasting Away

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 their gone

They mess with their hearts
And then they mess with their minds
And they plug up their ears
And they make em go blind

Till they walk down the street
And they can't tell what time it is

You see em standing in line
You watch em going insane
Because they wasting their time
While they waiting in vain
Is this the way it should be
You were born to be free
So why you wasting away
Why you wasting away

Teachers today they got nothing to say
They got nothing to say because they taught
Em that way
They only do what they told

So they can get their pay
And go home

They walk down the street with their hearts
In their hands
They grow up to fast
And they can't understand
What its like to be a woman
Or maybe a man
Because its wrong
