I take, I take what I've been given And I paint it gold I give, what I can't hold The kids, they take what they've been given Far as they have known They change, all the rules they sold And as the time goes by We'll consolidate those old lies Time will always be on our side Even when the last laugh dies So rage Against the day You know it's not wasted time I know I'm not waisting mine So rage Against the day You know it's not wasted time I know I'm not waisting mine Back and forth and back again we Learn to write the right side of history Loosen up the noose they give me F- the fame based on some pretence We just want some heat and substance F- off games that narrow your lane And as the time goes by We'll consolidate those old lies Time will always be on our side Even when the last laugh dies So rage Against the day You know there's no wasted time I know I'm not waisting mine So rage Against the day You know it's not wasting time I know I'm not waisting mine Learn to run don't crawl Each stone will roll All directions home Dancing round that pole Waging war waiting for the rain to fall So rage Against the day You know there's no wasted time I know I'm not wasting mine So rage Against the day You know there's no wasted time I know I'm not wasting mine
