|
Wasted years been brainwashed by lies |
|
Oh yes I have |
|
Oh wasted years |
|
I'm talking about wasted years |
|
Oh I'm not seeing eye-to-eye |
|
I just can't see the things I should see |
|
Wasted years, baby |
|
I was taking the wrong advice |
|
I know you was, I know you was |
|
And I was too |
|
All alone I'm travelling |
|
Travelling through these wasted years |
|
For so long, so long, so long I was |
|
Oh, I must have gained some wisdom |
|
Down through the years I did |
|
Somewhere along the way |
|
Oh yes, I did, oh yes I did |
|
Thet's why there can't be no more |
|
No more |
|
No more wasted years today |
|
I got wise, I got wise to myself |
|
Well baby the great sadness |
|
Oh, you've got to let it all go |
|
Oh yeah, oh yeah Van |
|
Live in the present |
|
Live in the future John Lee, ain't that so |
|
Oh, it's a sad feeling, oh yeah |
|
Oh, you've gotta find something |
|
To carry you through, carry you through, |
|
carry you through |
|
I've learned my lesson |
|
I ain't gonna do it no more, yeah |
|
Now Van |
|
Now John |
|
I've learned my lesson |
|
I should have a long time ago |
|
That's right |
|
All these wasted years, wasted years |
|
I finally woke up and got wise |
|
I ain't gonna be, ain't gonna be no fool no more |
|
Now Van, now Van |
|
Ain't gonna be nobody's body's fool no more |
|
Sing the song Van, sing it with me |
|
Well all alone, all alone I've been travelling |
|
Yeah |
|
Travelling all along through these wasted years |
|
Dark, dark wasted years |
|
So dark here |
|
Dark, dark, dark, dark wasted years |
|
I must have gained something |
|
Yeah |
|
Oh travelling along the lonely way |
|
Yeah, I've learned a lesson |
|
I'm gonna make damn sure baby, make damn sure |
|
There's no more wasted years today |
