What A Waste

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dawn choruses sing, the sunrise creeps Into a dust blue polluted sky You should get out of bed, get out of your own head But instead, you're still wondering why [Verse 2] You gotta change out the brake pads, you're bound to burn through Hold your breath and let go of your cash And the journals you write to keep track of your life Seem to have no more meaning than that [Chorus] Oh, what a waste Low-grade dregs of the day-to-day And the headlines selling tired rhymes keep us looking the other way It's a privilege to forget All the beauty that's at stake Like you don't have a choice to make Oh, what a waste [Verse 3] And we all know the man doing things 'cause he can Telling everyone it's under control He's gonna take us to Mars in the first flying cars Manufactured from a Fisher-Price mold [Verse 4] How easy to cower in some position of power When a name can trump the weight of a god Stuck in ignorant bliss, we can hardly resist Making a hero out of a fraud [Chorus] Oh, what a waste Low-grade dregs of the day-to-day And the headlines selling tired rhymes keep us looking the other way It's a privilege to forget All the beauty that's at stake Like you don't have a choice to make Oh, what a waste [Bridge] Bioluminescent waves Wax and wane Over a pale blue dot Hanging in an empty space [Chorus] Oh, what a waste Low-grade dregs of the day-to-day And the headlines selling tired rhymes keep us looking the other way Oh, what a waste Low-grade dregs of the day-to-day And the headlines selling tired rhymes keep us looking the other way It's a privilege to forget All the beauty that's at stake Like you don't have a choice to make While you still have a choice to make Oh, what a waste Oh, what a waste [Outro] Oh, what a waste
