It's 2:45, the baby takes his first breath
The mother never knew he only had a few left and
The father gets a call in the middle of the night
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight
But he's 16, and he's driving too fast
Takes a turn to the left, it would be his last
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right
Nobody in the car would've died that night
But he's 32 and invincible.
The cancer he had it was visceral
He never saw it coming...thought he had his whole life
Sick in the morning and he died in the night.
We're all so...
We're on the run.
We're all, we're all
We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
7 years old, got his bat in his hand
He's looking for his father and he doesn't understand
'Cause dad's too busy, got some deals on the way
His son sits alone as the children play
And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out
His parents wonder what all the rush is about
They never bothered with his dreams
Only thinking of theirs.
Wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care
But he's 32 and invincible
With everything he is based on principle
He never had a truly happy moment in his life
He didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife.
We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no no
We're all wasted
23 now got his life in his hands
He's looking all around and he doesn't understand
'Cause life's too busy, things get in the way
We all feel alone every single day
And I'm 18 couldn't wait to move out
It's been 5 years and now I'm starting to doubt...
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking off to someplace that isn't there
When I'm 32 will I be miserable?
With everything around based on principle
Will I have a clue, oh wouldn't it be nice
to never be alone in this wasted life.
We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no no
We're all wasted.

great song | Reviewer: chris | 2/27/11
man!?!, im curently 16 and a bit of a musican and a song writer myself and this is such a truly down to earth honest heart grabbin song....and even though im stil young, i can realy relate to alot of the lyrics.... but anyways wat a great song, its just 1 of those wher yew say, "i wish i cuda made this" :D
Contradiction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/09
I never really listened to the lyrics to this, I just liked the rhythm and music (to the original and Wyclef remix). Now, it seems so upbeat to something a bit depressing.
I like the contradiction.
The lyrics are sad, but the instrumentals convey the message of the song. :)

Explain? | Reviewer: hil
"i loved this song so so so much
but im confused...
is each little peice of the song a different story of different ppl or is the parents who didnt care the ones who wondered where there son was a couple years later and was the 16 year old the father of the baby who died... or is it all serperate stories.. someone explain :-)"
Each part is a different story. Its basically saying we waste life. Because more than 40% of people die at the age of 50 or younger!And Cartel is showing differnt ways ppl die... This is a awesome song! altho some of your lyrics are a little off!

i can relate to this bit:
And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out
his parents wonder what all the rush is about
they never bothered with his dreams only thinking of theirs
wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care
because my brother is exactly like that.
he doesnt call. he doesnt care. he doesnt give a crap.
i love him so much.

Cartel has done beautifully with these lyrics. it's a litle too fast, but it says to live every minute and love everything...our life is too precious to be wasted. So take waay too many pictures, laugh at everything, and life your life. this is a very discriptive song since all those country singers. lol.
