Wasted Years Lyrics


Wasted years been brainwashed by lies
Oh yes, I have, oh, wasted years
I'm talking about wasted years
Oh, I'm not seeing eye to eye
I just can't see the things I should see
Wasted years, baby
I was taking the wrong advice
I know you was, I know you was
And I was too all alone
I'm traveling, traveling through these wasted years
For so long, so long, so long I was
Oh, I must have gained some wisdom
Down through the years I did
Somewhere along the way
Oh yes, I did, oh yes, I did
That's why there can't be no more
No more, no more wasted years today
I got wise, I got wise to myself

Well, baby the great sadness
Oh, you've got to let it all go
Oh yeah, oh yeah Van
Live in the present
Live in the future John Lee, ain't that so
Oh, it's a sad feeling, oh yeah
Oh, you've gotta find something
To carry you through, carry you through
Carry you through
I've learned my lesson
I ain't gonna do it no more, yeah
Now Van, now John
I've learned my lesson
I should have a long time ago, that's right
All these wasted years, wasted years
I finally woke up and got wise
I ain't gonna be
Ain't gonna be no fool no more
Now Van, now Van
Ain't gonna be nobody's body's fool no more
Sing the song Van, sing it with me
Well all alone, all alone
I've been traveling, yeah
Traveling all along through these wasted years
Dark, dark wasted years
So dark here
Dark, dark, dark, dark wasted years
I must have gained something, yeah
Oh, traveling along the lonely way
Yeah, I've learned a lesson
I'm gonna make damn sure baby, make damn sure

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Praying Mantis are a well established band of melodic hard rockers. They were formed by brothers Tino Troy and Chris Troy in the United Kingdom 1974 and they became one of the bands associated with the the nwobhm (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal). Their first album 1981's "Time Tells No Lies" received a lot of critical acclaim. England's Praying Mantis was one of the more melodic bands to emerge from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene. They combined a Thin Lizzy-style twin guitar approach with Def Leppard-like vocal harmonies, resulting in a sound not unlike later-day Rainbow.
