A Nothing Song. Won't you now just sing along. This is for Wicky Ricardo Pankratz. The chords are G-Em-C-D, with a lead in G major. A soft melody. This is only a few stanzas/verses of the song.
Acoustic Poet
He is who I am when I be.
Story behind the song
I thought about the chaos in the world. I wanted to diminish it, deflect it, wanted nothing to do with it, so I thought of a song about nothing, trying to express nothing, just something to sing along.
Lyrics
Nothing Song
I sing a nothing song
I sing for no one not very strong
The world’s in endless turmoil
Lost in bread and slimy oil
The chaos accelerates
Better stop before it’s too late
Some say circumcise them all
Before civilization takes a fall
This is a meaningless tune
Rises in April, falls in June
Nothing seems to matter to no one
Whatever happened to having fun
I sing a nothing song
World’s gonna crash, won’t be long
Mark my words deep on your soul
The only hope is rock and roll
No one seems to care for peace
Those who fight want it least
Oh, they fantasize about their fate
Better change now fore it’s too late
Nothing doesn’t matter to anyone
Who speaks behind a loaded gun
Everything is on the line
Better move fast while there’s time
Nothing just seems easy to be
When nothing happens I feel free
Everyone’s caught in lonesome lies
The devil lurks in evil eyes
I sing a nothing song
Sing it loud and sing it long
Seems I care less each day
I just wish they’d go away
Tell me you know how to make angels rise
And then I’ll turn on for a surprise
But I doubt if you will escape your fate
Better change now fore it’s too late
Shadows of your souls fall asleep
While hearts stir and minds creep
Wailing’s become a figment of your past
For that reason your health is going fast
Cry if you feel any pain
Nothing to lose, everything to gain
Don’t let others own your very soul
Follow your rhythm, rock and roll
