Lyrics

Useless

[Verse 1]

Life's full of disappointments, wonder where the good times went?

Craving for recognition, rather than accomplishment

Nobody cares what your name is, and it's gonna stay that way

Everything is off the record, face it, there's nothing to say

Life's only temporary, and then you fucking die

[Chorus]

It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm

Between patience and persuasion every single time?

[Verse 2]

Mingling amongst the masses, that much would be enough

You used to be my rival, quit when the going gets rough

I never witnessed the moment, when all you ever wanted was me

Understand now the penny's dropped, pissed off bunny, not happy

Don't want to think about it, it makes me fucking mad

[Chorus]

It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm

Between patience and persuasion every single time?

It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm

Between patience and persuasion every single time?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I never witnessed the moment, when all you ever wanted was me

Understand now the penny's dropped, pissed off bunny, not happy

Life's only temporary, and then you fucking die

[Chorus]

It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm

Between patience and persuasion every single time?

It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm

Between patience and persuasion every single time?
