Lyrics
The Damned
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You'll find us caught in the middle
Of our every day in every way
You'll see us looking for a reason
In every day in every way
We slave and steal but we just don't want
We just can't feel, no we just can't feel
Were always surprised when we don't get heard
When we speak our words, when we speak our words
It's not enough we say
Cos we the damned we wait
You'll find us with a painted smile
Trying to get things done just to get along
You'll find us trying to chase down dreams
As they float upstream, as they float upstream
It's been so long we've forgotten how to care
For the things we lost that are deep down there
But through every new fad, through every phase
Pleased every god, worship every craze
It's not enough we say
Cos we the damned we wait
Pass the time with a little bit of distraction
We pass the time with a little self-destruction
We grasp at times moments of satisfaction
Cos we the damned we wait
