Linkin Park - Wastelands Lyrics






[Mike Shinoda:]
This is war with no weapons,
Marching with no stepping,
Murder with no killing,
Illing every direction.
First, no sequel,
Do the math, no equal
John with no Yoko
More power, less people
And no I'm not afraid of that
Print it in your paperback
Every rap is made in fact
To act as a delayed attack
Every phrase a razor blade
That's saved until they play it back
To slay and leave 'em laying on the pavement
Bang
Fade to black

[Chester Bennington:]
In the wastelands of today,
When there's nothing left to lose,
And there's nothing more to take,
But you force yourself to choose,
In the wastelands of today,
When tomorrow disappears
When the future slips away,
And your hope turns into fear,
In the wastelands of today

[Mike Shinoda:]
Roll credits, to get it,
The show's done,
They're talking for just talking,
But meaning they got none,
None of 'em come proper,
They talk like a shotgun,
But how many got bred with integrity,
Not one
So no, I'm not afraid to see these suckers hold a blade to me,
Ain't a way to shake the ground I built before you came to be,
Take it how you take it, I'm the opposite of vacancy,
And this is not negotiation, y'all can hate and wait and see...

[Chester Bennington:]
In the wastelands of today,
When there's nothing left to lose,
And there's nothing more to take,
But you force yourself to choose,
In the wastelands of today,
When tomorrow disappears
When the future slips away,
And your hope turns into fear,
And your hope turns into fear,

In the wastelands of today!

In the wastelands of today,
When there's nothing left to lose,
And there's nothing more to take,
But you force yourself to choose,
In the wastelands of today,
When tomorrow disappears
When the future slips away,
And your hope turns into fear,
And your hope turns into fear,
In the wastelands of today!

In the wastelands of today!
In the wastelands of today!

    Hi Mike. (This is probably not mike reading this..)

  8. K.... H....

    Love this song so much, thx

  9. D.... O....

    I feel that they did not maintain the base they started, but I never stopped being a fan for the long history and the behind-the-scenes compositions and improvisations that are underground songs

  10. G.... D....

    PEDOPHILES

  11. E.... P....

    Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopoop

  12. B.... L....

    Oh Christ all these comments are old and he's dead now holy crap

  17. M.... O....

    This was the song that made me want to learn guitar, and now I'm playing metalcore. Thank you Linkin Park, for opening the gates to metal for me.

    top my favourite song linkin park
    1 until its gone
    2 wastelands
    3 final masquerade
    4 powerless
    5 castle of glass
    6 waiting for the end
    7 burning in the skies
    8 iridescent
    9 the catylst
    10 from the inside
    11 one more light
    12 battle symphony
    13 good goodbye
    14 heavy
    15 numb

  21. H.... D....

    You know what people there's no use speaking good of a person telling how great he was when he is not there anymore.. he probably needed it more when he was alive.. so when you were not with him when he needed you the most so why come to stick with him in the end?...

  22. H.... D....

    Rest in peace dear Chester.. you have done enough for us.. thank you..

  23. W.... A....

    R.I.P. Chester Bennington

  44. M.... L....

    Great song 🔥

  45. C.... B....

    Re listening to this nearly 5 years later and I still cant believe people thought this album wasn't good or heavy back then. This album has some amazing instrumentals, and is easily one of the bands best.

  46. T.... F....

    Chester's part <3

  47. J.... ....

    Rip Chazy.

  48. F.... ....

    i thought this was an advertisement

  49. A.... T....

    This song will forever be relevant to the day.

  50. H.... ....

    This song is a lot more like their old ones

  51. f.... 1....

    whoa here in 2019

  52. T.... 5....

    Great song

  53. B.... ....

    This song couldn’t describe Iraq any better!

  54. A.... T....

    The Hunting Party is awfully underrated.

  55. T.... b....

    Guitar hero anyone?

  56. l.... c....

    2018 br?

  57. K.... K....

    Like it!

  58. M.... B....

    hello i came from guitar hero live

  59. H.... C....

    RIP Chester

  60. F.... W....

    Everyone here talking about Mike's rapping like they've never heard of "Hybrid Theory" before, it's pretty sad...
    Only the true fans remember.

    FUN FACT: Mike Shinoda, Rob Bourdon, & Brad Delson founded LP in '96.
    ALSO: If you want more of a rap type Linkin Park look for an album called "Reanimation" they remixed all their hits like 16 years ago and it's one of my favorite albums.

  61. T.... S....

    This should have been in Borderlands...

  62. I.... C....

    This song super under appreciated

  63. A.... T....

    this is the first time im hearing this Linkin Park song all the way and it,s okay.

  64. S.... W....

    ur my hero

  65. M.... ....

    the situation in europe right now:
    "this is war with no weapons
    marching with no stepping
    murder with no killing
    illin' every direction"

  66. D.... P....

    Perfect for a book that I’m working on

  67. M.... A....

    It sounds like Guilty All The Same

  68. S.... b....

    Even in 2018 after all that's happened this album is still extremely good. RIP Chester

  69. c.... 3....

    very good music ! R.I.P Chester

  70. e.... ....

    This song is about whats happening to the world

  71. s.... f....

    Maaaassa

  72. K.... R....

    Uff bestiar

  73. J.... A....

    I love you Chester I miss you god bless you rip my boy

  74. O.... ....

    Mike rapping is the best fucking thing happening to my ears. Those lyrics are fiah

  75. o.... d....

    The ultimate great song of LP

  76. S.... s....

    \m/☠\m/

  77. M.... H....

    The best Song in The List

  78. S.... ....

    But why is Chester gone so early?😫

  79. S.... ....

    The lyrics pour out deeper meaning each time I listen!

  80. T.... M....

  88. C.... o....

    Wow... this tackles actual world issues such as global warming and losing the wildlife and plants, turning the world into a wasteland for future generations. Linkin Park for president!

  89. P.... ....

    My favourite song from The Hunting Party with War, Keys To The Kingdom, A line in the Sand, Guilty all the same and Until It's Gone

  90. A.... s....

    talking just for talking , but the meaning they got none...

  91. C.... _....

    Beautiful!!! RIP Chazy, guys you have our love and support. 3

  92. R.... ....
