C
I'm gonna play my guitar 'til my fingers fall off
Sing till my voice is gone

They might think I've wasted my life they're wrong

I'm not down with the uptight world
Never gonna be no square
I'll circle round the edge of the big black void
F G
But I don't wanna live down there
[Chorus]

I'm better off being wasted

Than working my whole life through

Tonight I wanna get wasted with you

Drop it down a wishin' well
Dance on the edge of the big black void

Throw rocks at the gates of hell

We're better off being wasted

Than working our whole life through

Tonight I wanna get wasted with you
