The Wasteland letra

Heirs to errant sovereignty
Nothing but to need, guaranteed
Scavenging like common thieves
Time's detritus laid bare for thee

What nobody told you
When out on your own
Who wistfully thinks of
Why they are sinking, never figures
How to pull themselves out

And all you can do is forget about who is
Suffering when your means meet your ends
Oh, wretched is the way of

The Wasteland
It's your turn to reap from what has been wrung
Welcome to the wasteland
What's there left to win when it's all been won?

Find what's fruitful from the heap
Notwithstanding those who compete
Cast them to the dusty ground
They knew what doom was to be found

In the wasteland
It's your turn to reap from what has been wrung
Welcome to the wasteland
Nothing left to win when it's all been won
You're stuck in the race, man
Try to keep the pace, or you're overrun

And in the wasteland
Oh it doesn't hurt if you know someone

One for one, All for nothing
Brick after brick, the house keeps crumbling down
Stone by stone, lost or abandoned
Then stolen or found, the house keeps crumbling down

(One by one, brick after brick, stone by stone, all for nothing)
It's a sullen thing how it's come to be that
(One by one, brick after brick, stone by stone, all for nothing)
We've agreed to throw away the best parts of the dream
(One by one, brick after brick, stone by stone, all for nothing)
That we used to dream when we still believed
(One by one, brick after brick, stone by stone, all for nothing)
We would see no defeat from anything
(One by one, brick after brick, stone by stone, all for nothing)
Will we see no defeat from anything?

What nobody told you
You're on your own
Who wistfully thinks of
Why they are sinking never finds
A way to pull themselves out
So, all you can do is try not to think about who is
Suffering when your means meet your ends

Oh, wretched is the way of The Wasteland

Now you're in the wasteland
Nothing left to win when it's all been won
It's a race, man
Try to keep the pace, or you're overrun
