  Repeat this schedule with improvised variations
Wasted  years  been brainwashed by lies
 Oh yes I have
 Oh wasted years
 I'm talking about wasted years
 Oh I'm not seeing eye-to-eye
 I just can't see the things I should see
Wasted  years, baby
 I was taking the wrong advice
 I know you was, I know you was
 And I was too
 All alone I'm travelling
 Travelling through these wasted years
 For so long, so long, so long I was
 Oh, I must have gained some wisdom
 Down through the years I did
 Somewhere along the way
 Oh yes, I did, oh yes I did
 That's why there can't be no more
 No more
 No more wasted years today
 I got wise, I got wise to myself
 Well baby the great sadness
 Oh, you've got to let it all go
 Oh yeah, oh yeah Van
