Mike Shinoda - Wastelands lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] This is war with no weapons Marchin with no steppin' Murder with no k**in' Illin' every direction First, no sequel Do the math, no equal John with no Yoko More power, less people And no, I'm not afraid of that Print it in your paperback Every rap is made in fact To act as a delayed attack Every phrase a razor blade That's saved until they play it back To slay and leave em laying on the pavement Bang, fade to black [Chorus: Chester Bennington] In the wastelands of today When there's nothing left to lose And and there's nothing more to take But you force yourself to choose In the wastelands of today Where tomorrow disappears While the future slips away And your hope turns into fear In the wastelands of today [Verse 2: Mike] Roll credits, you get it The show's done They're talking for just talking But meaning, they got none None of 'em come proper They talk like a shotgun But how many got bred with integrity? Not one So no, I'm not afraid To see these s**ers hold a blade to me Ain't no way to shake the ground I built before you came to be Take it how you take it I'm the opposite of vacancy And this is not negotiation Y'all can hate and wait and see [Chorus: Chester x2]
