I took up running so I got a pair of Nikes
They're absolute stunners, I chose to get them in white
And down each side is beautiful red stripe
But I broke both my legs when I got into a fight
So
What a waste of money
What a waste of time
I bought a new house and in order to protect it
There's security cameras and motion detectors
So far this year no-one's tried to steal from me at all
It's a crime
What a waste of money
What a waste of time
Throw good money after bad
Throw bad money after good
Just throw money
It's what stops the world from falling to bits
Every month I send a small amount of cash to Africa
Small amount to me, but over there I'm told that goes far
Imagine my surprise when I turned on the news
The charity had spent it all on prostitutes and booze
Well, what a waste of money
What a waste of time
Money is hard to earn
But it's easy to spend
My friend was hard up
So a tenner I did lend
And then he died
What a waste of money
What a waste of time
Throw good money after bad
Throw bad money after good
You know they used to use seashells as currency?
Imagine that!
How ridiculous
I sit here and I think about my life
What would make me happy?
What makes me feel nice?
I paid a company
To find the answer for me
And they were able to define
I like wasting money
I like wasting time
