Lyrics
Wasteland
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.
One more drink, you're blaming
But my gin and tonic protects my heart from you
Fuck you, I'm not complaining
'Cause it's too long, honey, since we denied the truth
Too cynical to believe in
Selling out my faith for untrue dignity
Finally I'm Judas, so leaving
My betrayed Jesus crucified on Calvary
All the things that I knew
Have changed so fast and now I break apart
The pieces of me try to glue
In this brand new life, it's a wasteland for the heart
Look at our home, it's burning
All the brutes were slaughtered so exploiter's alive
Got no choice but to learn this
Don't be scared to kill in cold blood to survive
Too cynical to believe in
Selling out my faith for untrue dignity
Finally I'm Judas, so leaving
My betrayed Jesus crucified on Calvary
All the things that I knew
Have changed so fast and now I break apart
The pieces of me try to glue
In this brand new life, it's a wasteland for the heart
Too cynical to believe in
Selling out my faith for untrue dignity
Finally I'm Judas, so leaving
My betrayed Jesus crucified on Calvary
All the things that I knew
Have changed so fast and now I break apart
The pieces of me try to glue
In this brand new life, it's a wasteland for the heart
All the things that I knew
Have changed so fast and now I break apart
The pieces of me try to glue
In this brand new life, it's a wasteland for the heart
