Lyrics for Nothing to Say

Every day there's someone asking "What is there to do? Should I love or should I fight? Is it all the same to you?" "No," I say, "I have the answer Proven to be true But if I were to share it with you You would stand to gain and I to lose" Oh, I couldn't bear it, so I've got nothing to say Nothing to say nothing to say Every morning pressure forming all around my eyes Ceilings crash the walls collapse broken by the lies That your misfortune brought upon us And I won't disguise them So don't ask me will I explain I won't even begin to tell you why No, just because I have a name well I've got nothing to say Nothing to say nothing to say Climb a tower of freedom paint your own deceiving sign It's not my part to criticize or to ask you to be blind To your own pressing problem and the you must unwind And ask of me no answer there is None that I could give you wouldn't find I went your way ten years ago and I've got nothing to say Nothing to say nothing to say Nothing, nothing to say Nothing, nothing to say Nothing, nothing to say, nothing to say Nothing, nothing to say, nothing to say Nothing, nothing to say
