nothin

Hey, mama, when you leave,
Don't leave a thing behind.
I don't want nothin'.
I can't use nothing'.

Take care into the hall,
and if you see my friends,
tell em i'm fine,
not usin' nothing'.

Almost burned out my eyes,
threw my ears down to the floor.
I didn't see nothin'.
I did't hear nothin'.

I stood there like a block of stone,
knowing all i had to know,
and nothing more.
Man, that's nothin'.

As brothers our troubles are,
locked in each other's arms.
And you better pray
that they never find you.

'Cause your back ain't strong enough
for burdens doublefold.
They crush you down,
down into nothin'.

Being born is goin' blind.
I buying down a thousand times
to echoes strung
on pure temptation.

Sorrow and solitude,
these are the precious things,
and the only words
that're worth remembering.

So hey, mama, 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'.
