wait a minute

I say tell me something you wish you had known back when you were my age

(I just wanna know)

'Cause I don't wanna look back

(Yeah, I just wanna know)

Feeling just the same

So you grab me by the shoulder, throw me down

Hold your knife to my face

(If it's driving you insane)

Then what's the point of thinking

(And it just gets in your way)

When you don't have to stay

Oh-oh

If it's paradise that's after life

I wonder why we waste our time on the world

Oh-oh, oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize

But one lantern light won't turn the tide of the world

Oh-oh, oh-oh

When I fake my own death I'm gonna go to the wake in disguise

(I just wanna know)

Does anybody love me?

(I just wanna know)

Would anybody cry?

Yeah, they're bawling outta habit

And of course they'll all said something nice

(Wait a minute there)

But listen to 'em laughing

(Does anybody care?)

They're having a good time

Oh-oh

If it's paradise that's after life

I wonder why we waste our time on the world

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize

But one lantern light won't turn the tide of the world

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

If it's paradise that's after life

I wonder why we waste our time on the world

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize

But one lantern light won't turn the tide

I wonder why we waste our time
