You say you've got the cure
|
But i don't have a disease
|
And you say you've got the answers
|
But i've made no inquiries
|
And you're failing, you're bailing
|
Good god motherfucker now i hear you flailing
|
I see you flailing
|
That's right i think i do I see you flailing away, away
|
|
Oh i know it's hard but so are you
|
and so am i and we'll pull through together, together and i said
|
It's been years but still I fear
|
that someone dear will leave me here forever, for forever and i said
|
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
|
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
|
|
Hey, you've got to keep trying
|
You've got to keep holding onto what you've got
|
Cause what you've got it sure ain't a lot,
|
Hey! everyone's falling down
|
everyone's holding out for what you've got
|
But what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
|
and you act like it is but you know that it's not
|
and even if it was, would you ever give it up?
|
if i told you what you had was really nothing?
|
nothing! nothing! yes, it's nothing, nothing at all!
|
|
Well you say your life's a bore, and i can't quite disagree
|
If you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your T.V.
|
Because they stand so proud, and they talk so loud
|
and every other word is a lie i've found
|
That everyone who is anyone is a waste of time,
|
A waste of time!
|
|
I know it's hard and so are you
|
and so am i and we'll pull through together, togetherand i said
|
It's been years but still I fear
|
that someone dear will leave me here forever, for forever and i said
|
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
|
HEY! hey! HEY! hey! HEY! hey!
|
|
Hey, you've got to keep trying
|
You've got to keep holding onto what you've got
|
Cause what you've got it sure ain't a lot

nothing! nothing! Yes, it's nothing! nothing! at all!
|
|
Nothing
|
You won't say nothing
|
You won't say nothing
|
And that's just fine
|
|
Take me back to that
|
Day when I went blind
|
I would like to see
|
Your face one last time
|
|
Sticks and stones may break my bones
|
But names will never hurt me
|
And it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
|
Oh, it's hard, I know, when it's time to stand alone
|
and no one understands you
|

Oh, it's hard, Yes I know

When it's time to stand alone and no one understands you

Nothing

You won't say nothing
