Wasted Day

I had the dream again, where I was falling
Got no ball and chain
Got pills for the pain
And I'm ahead of the game
But I'm no where
Waiting to hit the ground, but fate kept stalling
Then I'm back to square root
Through the ladders and chutes
Work my ass off all day
But it's wasted
Woke up to the strangest sound, thought I heard you calling

Chorus:
Just another, Just another, Just another
Wasted Day (2X)

I had the dream again, that I was flying
I got 6 hours asleep
Then I am back on my feet
I'm just one of the sheep
And I can taste it
I couldn't get off the ground, but I kept trying
Can't eat this, Can't eat that
Cause it all makes you fat
And The Man wants you thin
Wants you tasteless
There you were in the blue background
Shaking your head and sighing

Chorus

There's a picture in the hall of a smiling younger me
Standing next to someone who looks like a smiling younger you
But we let that get away and since then everyday
Seems like such a waste

Chorus
