Lyrics

Useless (Remix)

[Verse 1]

Well it's about time

It's beginning to hurt

Time you made up your mind

Just what is it all worth?

[Chorus]

All my useless advice

All my hanging around

All your cutting down to size

All my bringing you down

[Verse 2]

Watch the clock on the wall

Feel the slowing of time

Hear a voice in the hall

Echoing in my mind

[Chorus]

All your stupid ideals

You've got your head in the clouds

You should see how it feels

With your feet on the ground

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

Here I stand the accused

With your fist in my face

Feeling tired and bruised

With the bitterest taste

[Chorus]

All my useless advice

All my hanging around

All your cutting down to size

All my bringing you down

All your stupid ideals

You've got your head in the clouds

You should see how it feels

With your feet on the ground
