Wasting Away - The Brian Jonestown Massacre

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
