When you go three blocks on the subway
Just to get to the end of the street
It?s a waste
When your feet get tired from running
And they lead you to defeat
It?s a waste
When you love the songs you sing too much
And every time you burst into tears
It?s a waste
When you really want to put your soul to it
But you please everyone who hears
It's a waste
Do no more than you have to
Give everything that it takes
it's a long road, so carry on
Don't waste your time
When love came knockin' on my door
I put on an extra lock
lt's a waste
And when love got up and walked away
For years you tried to keep her near
It's a waste
Do no more than you have to
Give everything that it takes
On this hard road you must carry on
Don't waste your time
I tried to be a believer
Though I knew that I was not
lt's a waste
And you try to throw away your faith
When you know it's all you've got
lt's a waste
Do no more than we have to
Give everything that it takes
We've got one life, so we must carry on
Don't waste more time
