Cartel - Wasted Lyrics

Complimentary "Wasted" Ringtone

It’s 2:45 the baby takes his first breath 
The mother never knew he only had a few left 
And the father gets a call in the middle of the night 
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight 
But he’s 16 and he’s driving too fast 
Takes a turn to the left, it would be his last 
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right 
Nobody in the car would’ve died that night 

But he’s 32 and invincible 
The cancer he had it was visceral 
He never saw it coming, thought he had his whole life 
Sick in the morning and he died in the night 

We’re all so..We’re on the run 
We’re all 
We’re all 
Oh, we’re wasted 
No No No We’re all wasted 
We’re wasted 
No No We’re all wasted 

7 years old, got his bat in his hand 
He’s looking for his father and he doesn’t understand 
His dad’s too busy, got some deals on the way 
His son sits alone as the children play 

And he’s 18 he couldn’t wait to move out 
His parents wonder what all the rush is about 
They never bothered with his dreams, only thinking of theirs 
Wonders why he doesn’t call and why he doesn’t care 

But he’s 32 and invincible 
With everything he is based on principle 
He never had a truly happy moment in his life 
He didn’t want the kids and he didn’t want his wife 

We’re wasted 
No No No We’re all wasted 
We’re wasted 
No No We’re all wasted 
We’re wasted 
We’re all wasted 
We’re all wasted 
No No We’re all wasted 

23 now, got his life in his hands 
He’s looking all around and he doesn’t understand 
Cause life’s too busy, things get in the way 
We all feel alone every single day 

And at 18 I couldn’t wait to move out 
It’s been 5 years and now I’m starting to doubt 
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares 
Looking up at someplace that isn’t there 

When I’m 32 will I be miserable? 
With everything around based on principle? 
Will I have a clue? 
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice 
To never be alone in this wasted life 

We’re wasted 
No No No We’re all wasted 
We’re wasted 
No No We’re all wasted 
We’re wasted 
We’re all wasted 
We’re all wasted 
No no we’re all wasted
