Song Lyrics:

WASTE AND BONES

CHORUS:
I want to fly to the to the highest of all heights
Cry to the sky with the mightiest of all mights
Claim in my name stars the brightest of all brights
Strong and fleeting as the wind
I alone want to own all the wealth of the nations
I'll stay awhile as the crown of creations
You'll find I am blind to my own aberrations
And not so very thick skinned
As I count my castles
Gold and silver and precious stones
All my fiefs and vassals
I don't see all the waste and bones
I don't see all the waste and bones

Verse 1:
Oh, I have a heart
But it's lost in want and greed
Always thirsting for what I don't need
Oh, don't give me part
Of any whole because
I will hunger for the rest like my right hand does
The view from my tower, new every hour
Shows to the world the extent of my power
Nothing compares to reclining on a throne
And surveying all the small things that I own
Saying

[Rpt. CHORUS]

Verse 2:
I'm not interested
In anyone's affairs
But when it comes to my own, everybody cares
See, I got ahead
Meanwhile you lagged behind
I tell you, it's not up to me to try and ease your mind
So don't come a-knocking, forcefully talking
Telling me to change my ways, I'll send you walking
Don't pin on me your responsibility
Charity's not a possibility
I'm singing

[CHORUS]

Bridge:
Why, why do some people try
To tell me that I've let them down?
I hear their sounds but pretend I'm not listening
For they, they've got no right to say
I don't live the way I should,
And that I do no good, it's only sorrow that I bring
Do they, do they?
Don't point your finger!
I'm not in the wrong!
Some doubts may linger,
But they won't linger long
Don't scream and shout
I don't owe you a thing!
I'll just tune you out
And continue to sing
The view from my tower, new every hour
Shows to the world the extent of my power
So don't come a-knocking, forcefully talking
Telling me to change my ways, I'll send you walking
Nothing compares to all that I have in store
I'll be thinking up new reasons to ignore
Singing

La la la, la la la-la la
La la la, la la la-la-la
La la la, la la la-la la
La, la-da-da-da
[2x]

[Rpt. CHORUS]
