WASTE OF BREATH


You paint your leather jacket 
But it comes off in the rain 
And the more you cut your hair 
The more it grows again 

The badges you pin on yourself 
Fall off or start to rust 
And the more they take the piss 
The less people you can trust 

 Its the story of your life 
 And the end of its your death 
 And every word that's in between 
 Is just a waste of breath 

You don't know who you might have been 
Or who you now should be 
Or what you ought to write on walls 
Or why you wanna be free 

And then you start to panic 
'cos the inspirations there 
But your not sure how to use it 
And anyone no one seems to care 

 Its the story of your life 
 And the end of its your death 
 And every word that's in between 
 Is just a waste of breath 

Your the classic all-round failure 
Who never seems to win 
You'd like to write a book 
But your not sure how to begin 
Its the story of your life 
And the end of its your death 
And every word that's in between 
Is just a waste of breath 

 Its the story of your life 
 And the end of its your death 
 And every word that's in between 
 Is just a waste of breath
