Wasted - Old 97's

I'm gonna play my guitar 'til my fingers fall off
sing till my voice is gone
they might think I've wasted my life they're wrong
I'm not down with the uptight world
never gonna be no square
I'll circle round the edge of the big black void
but I don't wanna live down there

I'm better off being wasted
than working my whole life through
tonight I wanna get wasted with you

really it's a pity that you're so hung up
missin' all the mystery
you might wanna make a little time with me
but you gotta get rid of that goddamn phone
drop it down a wishin' well
dance on the edge of the big black void
throw rocks at the gates of hell

We're better off being wasted
than working our whole life through
tonight I wanna get wasted with you

I'm gonna play my guitar 'til my fingers fall off
sing till my voice is gone
they might think I've wasted my life they're wrong

I'm not down with the uptight world
never gonna be no square
I'll circle round the edge of the big black void
but I don't wanna live down there

I'm better off being wasted
than working my whole life through
tonight I wanna get wasted with you
tonight I wanna get wasted with you
