Lyrics
a terrible thing to waste i was born in a cradle of affluence never had to work in a mill like my grandfather did or worry through the night with a sick husband and two kids it's a long way down from the top of their shoulders to where i've slid you can take it easy or you could take it hard i never seem to understand just what the differences are freedom is just a little bit like the rain when the well runs dry you would pray just to see it fall again but too much will send you running from a moaning levee wall i could do anything i wanted to so i chose nothing at all you can take it easy or you could take it hard i never seem to understand just what the differences are a life is a terrible thing to waste and i am the one to blame broken under the burden middle-class dreams can weigh maybe happiness is an orchard tree stretching high above the shade and it only bears fruit when you give that fruit away chorus you could take the high road or you could take the low or you could just take a seat and contemplate which way you should go a life is a terrible thing to waste and i am the one to blame
