Waste Away by Axl Red Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A young man with a young soul
All days he’s squeezed to dead
He doesn’t know what he wants
He just does what he’s told

[Pre-Chorus]
Break his rights and his decisions
Break his bones and twist his mind

[Chorus]
Waste away
He’s just a soldier
Of the high-class folks
Waste away
He’s just a puppet
On a play

[Verse 2]
He feels lost like a kid that
His parents ran away
And no one would help him now
Cause he is all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Break his rights and his decisions
Break his bones and twist his mind

[Chorus]
Waste away
He’s just a soldier
Of the high-class folks
Waste away
He’s just a puppet
On a play

[Bridge]
Ahh!!!
He thinks that he’s right
But he’s just a little dime
Without grace or pride

[Chorus]
Waste away
He’s just a soldier
Of the high-class folks
Waste away
He’s just a puppet
On a play
Hey!
Hey!
