Cartel - Wasted

It's 2:45 the baby takes his 1st breath
the mother never knew he only had a few left
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
the body knows what happens if he turns to the right
the body in the car wouldn't die that night

But he's 32 and invincible
the cancer he had it was visceral
he never saw it coming
but he had his own life
sick in the morning and he died in the night

We're all so
We're on the line
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

He's 7 years old, got his bat in his hand
he's looking for his father and he doesn't understand
cause dads too busy he's 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
wonder's why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

But he's 32 and invincible
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

18 couldn't wait to move out
it's been five years and now he's starting to doubt
weather all my dreams are just aimless stares
looking out to someplace that isn't there

when I'm 32 and I'll be miserable
everything around based on principle
well, i had a clue, 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 no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted

[whitney813]

it's a song, it's a WORD. get a life, please

[whitney813]

why is everyone crying over a fucking word in this song? scarse.. first.. who gives a fuck?! IT'S A WORD! for someone to cry over ONE WORD needs a life, seriously.

[Leadstorm51357]

he does say scarce....listen VERY closely

[whitney813]

I don't give a fuck what he says. It's only one word, it wouldn't kill anyone so shut the fuck up and stop crying over ONE WORD!

[hunter5294623]

dude u are inccorect on the first part of wasted its its 2:45 the baby takes a SCARCE breath not 1st

[whitney813]

basically, i don't care. get over it!

[hippie4life009]

i think it does. it's ironic. but not really. look death is a verrrry peaceful thing. and life is pleasant and fulfilling. it's just the transition that's hard.

280sportamg <---- he's right the lyrics are wrong were u wrote them in the description box. Good song my Brother died in a car accident. It brought back so many memories i cried. and i never cry

[AngelS773]

when i first heard this song, i cried so hard. :'(

[m32132]

Hey, did anybody mention this scarce/first possible mixup?

[ThePeanutBuddha]

@hunter5294623 Ok, man, not like it matters, but you can obviously hear that he says first. Also, it should be quite clear that it's first due to the context provided in the very next line of the song. Regardless, lettuce all just listen and enjoy.

[LoLovesYou13]

personally, idgaf about a WORD... it's not like I really looked at it until y'all pointed it out. you should just focus on the fact that this is an amazing song. mmkay?

[xTreyray]

Cartel is goodddd

[musicislife7911]

who ever knew you could make pain sound so beautiful? this song is amazing

[SmokeyCannon71]

I feel bad for you

[PutUpOrShutUp221]

for some reason this song reminds me alot of the background music in sonic heroes... idk hahahh

[280sportamg]

The lyrics are wrong, its

'thought he had his whole life'

and yeah, this song is totally awesome, but terribly saddening, everyone can relate. The word visceral to describe cancer is horrible and emotion envoking.
