You Ain't Got Nuthin'

If you never saw nothin'

You never heard nothin'

And you never felt nothin'

And you never done nothin'

Brother, you got no religion at all

At all!

If you don't know when you got it

You don't know how to use it

Well, what if you should lose it

And you wouldn't even know you lost it?

Brother, you ain't got nothin' at all

'Cause, when you get religion

You know about it

And when it comes into your heart

You just can't help but shout it

So, if you never saw nothin'

And you never heard nothin'

And you never felt nothin'

And you never done nothin'

Well, brother, you ain't got nothin' at all

Well, if you never saw nothin'

And you never heard nothin'

And you never felt nothin'

And you never done nothin'

Brother, you ain't got nothin' at all

At all!

You never had time to read the Book

You never were known to pray

And when the preacher comes around

Oh, you wanna run away

Brother, you ain't got nothin' at all

Well, on Sunday you go out to Church

And sing in the choir

But every other day in the week

You're just a low-down, crooked liar

Well, if you never saw nothin'

You never heard nothin'

And you never felt nothin'

And you never done nothin'

Well, brother, you just ain't got nothin' at all

And, furthermore, you say

That you treat your fellow man on the level

But when you get home with your wife and your kids

You're just as means as the... Boogerman

Well, if ya never saw nothin'

And you never done nothin'

And you never felt nothin'

And you never heard nothin'

Well, brother, you ain't got nothin' at all
