Waste Of Breath Lyrics - Subhumans

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 

[Chorus:] 

It's the story of your life 

And the end of it's 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 inspiration's there 

But your not sure how to use it anyway and no one seems to care 

[Chorus] 

You're the classic all-round failure who never seems to win 

You'd like to write a book but you're not sure how to begin 

It's the story of your life 

And the end of it's your death 

And every word that's in between is just a waste of breath
