Wasted years been brainwashed by lies

Oh yes I have

 Oh wasted years

I'm talking about wasted years

 Oh I'm not seeing eye-to-eye

I just can't see the things I should see

Wasted years, baby

 I was taking the wrong advice

I know you was, I know you was

And I was too

All alone I'm travelling

Travelling through these wasted years

For so long, so long, so long I was

Oh, I must have gained some wisdom

Down through the years I did

Somewhere along the way

Oh yes, I did, oh yes I did

That's why there can't be no more

No more

No more wasted years today

I got wise, I got wise to myself

Well baby the great sadness

Oh, you've got to let it all go

Oh yeah, oh yeah Van
