Wasted

Its 2:45, the baby takes his first breath
The mother never knew he only had a few left
And the father gets a call in the middle of the night
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight

But hes sixteen and hes driving too fast
Takes a turn to the left, it would be his last
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right
Nobody in the car wouldve died that night

But hes thirty-two and invincible
The cancer he had it was visceral
He never saw it coming, thought he had his whole life
Sick in the morning and he died in the night

Were all so, were on the run
But we're aware, oh
Oh, were wasted, no, no, no
Were all wasted
Were wasted, no, no
Were all wasted

He's seven years old, got his bat in his hand
Hes looking for his father and he doesnt understand
'Cause dads too busy, got some deals on the way
His son sits alone as the children play

And hes eighteen he couldnt wait to move out
His parents wonder what all the rush is about
They never bothered with his dreams, only thinking of theirs
Wonders why he doesnt call and why he doesnt care

But hes thirty-two and invincible
With everything he is based on principle
He never had a truly happy moment in his life
He didnt want the kids and he didnt want his wife

Were wasted, no, no, no
Were all wasted
Were wasted, no, no
Were all wasted

Were wasted
Were all wasted
Were all wasted, no, no
Were all wasted

Twenty-three now, got his life in his hands
Hes looking all around and he doesnt understand
'Cause lifes too busy, things get in the way
We all feel alone every single day

And at eighteen, couldnt wait to move out
Its been five years and now Im starting to doubt
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking up to some place that isnt there

When Im thirty-two will I be miserable?
With everything around based on principle?
Will I have a clue? Oh, wouldnt it be nice
To never be alone in this wasted life?

Were wasted, no, no, no
Were all wasted
Were wasted, no, no
Were all wasted

Were wasted
Were all wasted
Were all wasted, no, no
Were all wasted

Were wasted
Were wasted
Were wasted, no, no
All wasted
