Nothin'

Hey, mamma, when you leave

Don't leave a thing behind

I don't want nothin'

I can't use nothin'

Take care into the hall

And if you see my friends

Tell 'em I'm fine

Not usin' nothin'

Almost burnt out my eyes

And threw my ears down to the floor

I didn't see nothin'

I didn't hear nothin'

Stood there like a block of stone

Knowing all I had to know

Nothin' more

Man, that's nothin'

Brothers are, troubles are

Locked in each others arms

And you better pray

That they never find you

'Cause your back ain't strong enough

Burdens double fold

They crush you down

Down into nothin'

Bein' born is goin' blind

Bowing down a thousand times

To echoes strung

On pure temptation

Sorrow and solitude

These are the precious things

And the only words

That are worth rememberin'
