Waste Lyrics by KMFDM

Symbols

1997

[Intro: Sascha Konietzko]
What I don't know, I don't like
What I don't like, I don't want
What I don't want, I waste

[Verse 1: Sascha Konietzko and Abby Travis]
I hypnotize with alibis and fingers made of lead
I sympathize with frozen eyes turned inwards in my head
I realize to my demise it's better left unsaid
That columns crash down endlessly, and I will end up dead
Go!

[Chorus: Sascha Konietzko]
(Waste) What I don't see, I don't know
What I don't know, I don't want
(Waste) What I don't want, I don't need
What I don't need, I don't feel
(Waste) What I don't feel, I don't say
What I don't say, I don't do
(Waste) What I don’t do, I don’t like
What I don’t like, I waste

[Verse 2: Sascha Konietzko]
I theorize I'm on the rise
But all I do is fall
I victimize my love of life
I've seen and done it all

[Pre-Chorus: Abby Travis]
Ready, steady, stop
Hurry up and wait
The tick-tick-ticking of the clock
Delineates your fate

[Chorus: Sascha Konietzko]
(Waste) What I don't see, I don't know
What I don't know, I don't want
(Waste) What I don't want, I don't need
What I don't need, I don't feel
(Waste) What I don't feel, I don't say
What I don't say, I don't do
(Waste) What I don’t do, I don’t like
What I don’t like, I waste

[Pre-Chorus: Abby Travis]
Ready, steady, go
Finish up your plate
Before you even realize
It's gonna be too late

[Verse 3: Sascha Konietzko]
I don’t know what I see
I don’t want what I know
I don’t need what I want
I don’t feel what I need
I don’t say what I feel
I don’t do what I say
I don’t like what I do
I just like to waste!

[Outro: Sascha Konietzko]
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste, waste, waste, waste
Waste, waste
Stop!
(Puke)
