i saw it coming
this is what they write about
it's all coming down
we have been warned about it

but let not the romans
ruin our romance as well
how will we know when it's over
they have not tamed us yet

tell them, go waste your time
on tomorrow
my love, you don't have to wallow in your sorrow
my love, you don't have to steal or borrow
go waste your time

i tried to speak up
but i was cornered with a fool's dunce cap
yeah, i may be dumb
but i still have ears to listen

and i heard a rumor
you're made achillean with the school budget
taxing the people
from which you already profit

so where does it end?
don't waste your time
it is hollow
my love, you don't have to wallow in your sorrow
my love, you don't have to steal or borrow
go waste your time
