[Verse 1]

Take a picture, I won't last much longer

I am turning into dust

Or I am melting into the

Fresh, wet concrete

And when I reach the pearly gates of Hell

I'll send those dimes back up the wishing well

With a note tied to each that reads

"Nobody's listening"

[Chorus]

Wasting time is all the rage

Those bad ideas won't leave your brain

When you can't control what all the others say

Just complain, complain, complain

Oh, complain, complain, complain

[Verse 2]

Now get lazy with it, phone the next one in

Put the money in your mouth and swallow it

When your company has to fold

Blame your troubles on the CEO

Because faith is a funny, pathetic notion

That God's a drug dealer and He's always holding

He can make you feel alright

With just one small hit of lights

[Chorus]

Wasting time is all the rage

Those bad ideas won't leave your brain

When you can't control what all the others say

Just complain, complain, complain

Oh, complain, complain, complain

[Bridge]

Keep 'em coming, I'm used to it

My mind over matter is a morphine drip

And ain't it funny that it comes to this?

Hanging off the edge and losing your grip

[Chorus]

Wasting time is all the rage

Those bad ideas won't leave your brain

When you can't control what all the others say

Just complain, complain, complain

Oh, wasting time is all the rage

Those bad ideas won't leave your brain

When you can't control what all the others say

Just complain, complain, complain

Oh, complain, complain, complain
