Nothing Much Of Anything

You've got a right to be angry

You've got a right to complain

But just being right

Ain't gonna change anything

You want understanding

Without saying a word

You want admiration

Even though it's undeserved

It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old

One of us should stand up

One of us should scream

One of us should step out

And say just what he means

One of us should say

Just what it is we're fighting for

But no one says nothing much

Of anything no more

We all have defenses

And opinions to sell

We all have our methods

Of defending ourselves

But there's nothing as lifeless

As a tree that don't bend

There's nothing as worthless

As a fair weathered friend

It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old

One of us should get up

One of us should say

One of us should get out

Of the other one's way

One of us should face up

To what no one can ignore

But no one does nothing much

Of anything no more

I am he as you are he

As you are me, but we just disagree

Now I ain't anything

And it's a world full of anger

It's a world full of pain

It's a world full of people

Lookin' for someone else to blame

But it don't make no difference

If it don't make no sense

'Cause the world goes on a changing

With or without our consent

It ain't no secret

Time took it's toll

I can't believe it

We're gettin' old

If one of us was angry

If one of us was sad

If one of us was guilty

It might not be that bad

If one of us was anything

We might know something more

But no one is nothing much

Of anything no more
