Go on big oasis<br>
Go on big oasis<br>
There's nothing left<br>
There is nothing left<br>
We have wasted it<br>
We have wasted it<br>
The mother<br>

Except the gunshots<br>

On the streets below where I used to go<br>
But now I watch them fall<br>
And now I watch them fall<br>
In threes and fours<br>
In threes and fours<br>
And I don't feel it anymore
And I don't feel it anymore

It's been wasted by the foolishness
It's been wasted by the foolishness

But the shadows follow me where I go
But the shadows follow me where I go

There is nothing left<br>
We have wasted it<br>
The mother<br>
Stands on broken bones<br>
Bent on broken knees<br>
She comes limping in
 
I've wasted<br>
It's been wasted by the foolishness<br>
Don't get wasted by the foolishness<br>
Don't get wasted by the foolishness
Don't get wasted by the foolishness

Lyrics

Go on big oasis
There is nothing left
We have wasted it
The mother
Stands on broken bones
Bent on broken knees
She comes limping in with the morning

All is quiet
Except the gunshots
On the streets below where I used to go
And now I watch them fall
In threes and fours
And I don't feel it anymore

It's been wasted by the foolishness
It's been wasted by the foolishness

Tomorrow
Go away again
Go away again I will not regret
To find a guardian to help me grow
But the shadows follow me where I go

I've been wasted by the foolishness
It's been wasted by the foolishness
Don't get wasted by the foolishness
Don't get wasted by the foolishness

So go on big oasis
There is nothing left
We have wasted it
The mother
Stands on broken bones
Bent on broken knees
She comes limping in

I've wasted
It's been wasted by the foolishness
Don't get wasted by the foolishness
Don't get wasted by the foolishness
