Wastelands Lyrics - Linkin Park

1 Uh, this is war with no weapons

2 Marching with no stepping

3 Murder with no killing

4 Illin' every direction

5 First, no sequel

6 Do the math, no equal

7 John with no Yoko

8 More power, less people

9 And no, I'm not afraid of that, print it in your paperback

10 Every rap is made in fact to act as a delayed attack

11 Every phrase a razor blade that's saved until they play it back

12 Slay and leave 'em laying on the pavement, bang, fade to black

13 In the wastelands of today

14 Where there's nothing left to lose

15 And there's nothing more to take

16 But you force yourself to choose

17 In the wastelands of today

18 Where tomorrow disappears

19 While the future slips away

20 And your hope turns into fear

21 In the wastelands of today

22 Roll credits, you get it, the show is done

23 They're talking for just talking

24 But meaning, they got none

25 None of 'em come proper, they talk like a shotgun

26 But how many got bred with integrity? Not one

27 So no, I'm not afraid to see these suckers hold a blade to me

28 Ain't a way to shake the ground I built before you came to be

29 Take it how you take it, I'm the opposite of vacancy

30 And this is not negotiation, y'all can hate and wait and see

31 In the wastelands of today

32 Where there's nothing left to lose

33 And there's nothing more to take

34 But you force yourself to choose

35 In the wastelands of today

36 Where tomorrow disappears

37 While the future slips away

38 And your hope turns into fear

39 And your hope turns into fear

40 In the wastelands of today

41 In the wastelands of today

42 Where there's nothing left to lose

43 And there's nothing more to take

44 But you force yourself to choose

45 In the wastelands of today

46 Where tomorrow disappears

47 While the future slips away

48 And your hope turns into fear

49 And your hope turns into fear

50 In the wastelands of today

51 In the wastelands of today

52 In the wastelands of today
