I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G
I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G

CHORUS
I'm nothin'
I'm nothin'

Are you a Republican or a Democrat
A liberal fascist full of crap

CHORUS

Somebody somewhere might be something
But everybody everywhere
Knows that I'm nothing
Politics and dirty tricks
I got no time for stones and sticks
Politics and dirty dricks
I got no time I'm chasing chicks

CHORUS

Somebody somwhere might be something
But everybody everywhere
Knows that I'm nothing
I'm nothing but I'm not proud
'Cause being nothing it's not allowed
Are you a gay or are you straight
Do you believe in love
Or do you believein hate

CHORUS

Somebody somewhere said he was something
But to everybody everywhere
I'm saying I'm nothing
I'm nothing, I'm like a cloud
I'm free to be alone in a crowd
What's your reality, it's not real to me
What's your anomaly, it is my destiny

I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G
I-M N-O-T-H-I-N-G

I'm nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'

I'm nothing now and I'll be nothing when
This nothing world has its nothing end

I had me a wife, I had me some daughters
I tried so hard, I never knew still waters
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think

Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk
Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk
It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind
I started making plans to kill my own kind
I started making plans to kill my own kind

"Come little daughter", I said to the youngest one
Put your coat on, we'll have some fun
We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door
Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door

Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves

A led her to a hole, a deep black well
I said, "Make a wish, make sure and not tell and
Close your eyes dear, and count to seven"
You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven
You know your papa loves you, good children go to Heaven

I gave her a push, I gave her a shove
I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love
I through my child into a bottomless pit
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit
She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit

Gather round boys to this tale that I tell
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?
It's guaranteed to get your own place in hell
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well

Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart
You wanna know what can really tear you apart?
I'm going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain?
I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend
She's at the end
She is starting to cry

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Body and beats
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend
She's at the end
She is starting to cry

Let me go on like I
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one

burning inside makin' this boy turn out cold
What's wrong, What's right
I don't care when I hate my life

What's wrong, What's right
y'know people don't care when they hate their life

but how can I explain personal pain

Good feeling
won't you stay with me just a little longer
it always seems like your leaving
when I need you here just a little longer
dear lady there's so many things
that I have come to fear
little voice says I'm going crazy
to see all my worlds disappear
vague sketch of a fantasy
laughing at the sunrise
like he's been up all night
ooo slippin and slidin
what a good time but now
have have to find a bed
that can take this wait
good feeing
won't you say stay with me just a little longer
it always seems like your leaving
when I know the other one
just a little too well
oh dear lady
won't you stay with me just a little longer
y'know it always seems like your leaving
when I need you here just a little longer

Do you like American music?
I like American music
Don't you like American music, baby?

I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me
I want you to hold me, baby

Did you do too many drugs?
I did too many drugs
Did you do too many drugs too, baby?

You were born too late, I was born too soon
But every time I look at that ugly moon
It reminds me of you, it reminds me of you

I need a date to the prom
Would you like to come along?
But nobody would go to the prom with me, baby

They didn't like American music
They never heard American music
They didn't know the music was in my soul, baby

You were born too soon, I was born too late
But every time I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me
It reminds me of me

Do you like American music?
We like American music
I like American music, baby

Do you like American music?
We like all kinds of music
But I like American music best, baby

You were born too late and I was born too late
But every time I look at that ugly lake
It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me
It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me

It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me
It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me
It reminds me of me, it reminds me of me
...

Beautiful girl lovely dress
high school smiles oh yes
beautiful girl lovely dress
where she is now I can only guess
cause it's gone daddy gone
your love is gone
gone daddy gone
the love is gone away
when I see you
eyes will turn blue
when I see you
thousand eyes turnin blue
tell by the way you that you switch and walk
I can see by the way that you baby talk
I can know by the way you treat your man
I can love you baby til it's a cryin
beatiful girl lovely dress
15 smiles oh yes
beautiful girl lovely dress
where she is now I can only guess

Add it Up

Day after day, I will walk, and I will play.
But the day, after today, I will stop, and I will start.

Why can't I get just one kiss?
Why can't I get just one kiss?
Believe me there's somethings I wouldn't miss,
but I look at your pants and I need a kiss.

Why can't I get just one screw?
Why can't I get just one screw?
Baby I know what to do,
but something won't let me make love to you.

Why can't I get just one fuck?
Why can't I get just one fuck?
Guess its' got something to do with luck,
but I've waited my whole life for just one...

Day after day I get angry and I will say
that the day is in my sight,
take a vow to say good night.
Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum
Have you kept an eye, and eye on your son.
I know you've got problems,
Your not the only one, when your sugar left
he left you on run.

Oh ma ma ma ma mo ma mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done.
He's walking around like he's number one.
He went downtown and got him a gun.

Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.
Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.
You know you've got my sympathy, but
don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.

Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.
Don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.
You know you've got my sympathy. but
don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me.

Looking down kitchen at the top of stairs
can I mix in with your affairs?
Share a smoke, make a joke,
grasp and reach for a leg of hope.

Words to memorize, words hypnotize,
words make my mother exercise.
Words all fail the magic prize,
nothing I can say when I am in your thighs.

Oh mo ma ma ma ma mo ma mother
I would love to love you lover.
The city's restless, its ready to pounce.
When I'm in your bedroom ounce for ounce.

I fear for you decisions to make,
things to lose things to take.
Jessie's about ready to cut it up,
she said wait a minute honey gonna add it up.

I need someone a person to talk to
someone who'd care to love
could it be you could it be you
situation gets rough then I start to panic
it's not enough it's just a habit
hey kid your sick well darling this is it
you can all just kiss off into the air
behind my back I can see them stare
they'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
they'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
yeah yeah they do it all the time
I hope you know this will go down
on your permanent record
oh yeah well don't get so distressed
did I happen to mention that I'm impressed
I take one one one cause you left me and
two two two for my family and
3 3 3 for my heartache and
4 4 4 for my headaches and
5 5 5 for my lonely and
6 6 6 for my sorrow and
7 7 for no tomorrow and
8 8 I forget what 8 was for and
9 9 9 for a lost god and
10 10 10 10 for everything
everything everything everything
