Mama's in the kitchen Papa's on the porch Junior's downstairs in the basement Passin' on freedom's torch They're busy fighting Fillin' all the jails But sure as the sun do shine in the mornin'-- There's drugs on sale They're getting wasted Wasted They're getting wasted Wasted in America Something's gone wrong with the TV generation I am the product of that situation So you say you're feelin' Pinhead frustration C'mon join the nation They're getting wasted Wasted They're getting wasted Wasted in America Don't ask me why things are the way they are They just are I don't know why People are so curious They wanna chase it They wanna taste it They wanna get wasted They're getting wasted Wasted They're getting wasted Wasted in America They're getting wasted in New Jersey Wasted in Illinois Wasted in California And the Texans say "You 'all" Wasted in America They're getting wasted in America They're getting wasted in America

I don't need drugs I'm already six feet below I'm wasted on you Waitin' for a miracle I can't move on Feels like we're frozen in time I'm wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth Love Don't you remember? We were the ones Nothing could ever change us Now, it's easier not to believe We've broken everything But here we are Numb my head 'Til I can't think anymore But I still feel the pain I don't need drugs I'm already six feet below Wasted on you Waitin' for a miracle I can't move on Feels like we're frozen in time I'm wasted on you Just pass me the bitter truth Once, this was a garden This was a world All of the nightmares stayed in the dark A little too much time by yourself And you become the enemy Just look at us now Drownin' slowly, just to stay true I don't need drugs I'm already six feet below I'm wasted on you Waitin' for a miracle And I can't move on Feels like we're frozen in time I'm wasted on you Just pass me bitter truth Will I ever be the same? Am I strong enough to change? Is it in my blood? Shield my eyes to face the day Come too far to slip away But it's killing me to go on without you I don't need drugs I'm already six feet below I'm wasted on you (I'm wasted on) Waitin' for a miracle I can't move on Like we're frozen in time I'm wasted on you (I'm wasted on you) Just pass me the bitter truth

What happens when they die? Maybe eternal life, but only if they find me Maybe I'll send you down, give them a clue Then they'll kill you And I will ask them Was all my love, wasted on you? Was all my love, wasted on you? What if they never hear about you at all? Or, what if they ignore you? Would their fate be the same? Well, yeah, I guess But first they face me And I would ask them Was all my love, wasted on you? Was all my love wasted on you? Was all my love, wasted on you? Was all my love, wasted on you? Was all my love, wasted on you? Was all my love, wasted on you?

Onslaught of feelings My head hits the ceiling Must be from standing up so tall I'll hold my breath until I fall Rearrange, re-orchestrate the feelings that you bought You got me, but I don't think I got you Ghosts play their part Dance over graves Just don't look at me the same Because I can't always change Stop making sense The stories were true I am nothing without you I can't control these legs I think I'll let them flail And black out on the corner of Milwaukee Where the cross streets tend to blur with all the other words I thought I could make the transfer, but nothing ever came There are six different paths I can take Pull my shoulders back and hear them ache Pull back as far as I can Hopefully you'll want me then

It's unfortunate You left me to recount words undocumented The way they were meant will never be Seen as heartfelt and complimentary Because what I heard was honestly the most beautiful things And I'd rather forget than ever meet The expectations you have of me It must be the phrasing Or how I articulate my words That really pisses you off But at least I acknowledge all my faults And I'll stay in midwest states for a while And I'll have to prove myself to all of you And I'll stay in midwest states for a while And I'll have to prove myself to all of you

Lately safety is not an issue There's more concern over questions left unanswered by You No compromise I'll be alright We'll never understand Everything we had But I'll try Faulty wiring has left me fatigued Can't seem to render situations laid before me You cross my mind From time to time There's fear I can't explain Since you went away But I'll try

Open the door Let a little warmth out I can see my breath And my ankles feel like they're going to collapse From all the stairs that I've been walking up and down Trying to find you, but I never do But now it's back to paperwork and fixing the copier I don't have school tonight So I think I'll be drinking alone to some Replacements songs Don't tell a soul I'd be pleased to meet me too, but I'm all shook down Under the influence of artists not looking for change The timing and structure will all resolve and sound the same

This canvas manifests expressions that last for hours Through visions transcribed in vivid colors The lines the weight the strokes we make are flawed is that so wrong? We could be a beautiful collaboration on the wall.
