Nothing For Nothing......

Words & Music by Edgar Montes De Oca copyright 11-25-00

Everybody’s talking bout nothing

Nothing for nothing bleeds the same

Radio TV, all the digital injections

Can eventually drive you to jump the train

The age of tech is complicated

A whole new world of luxury

For all it’s good it makes us jaded

The way we handle little things

Now I’m not trying to be malicious

There’s only so much we can blame

Cruise controlling on a super sized adventure

Like we’re all inside a giant video game

Everybody’s got a part of our body

They take our limbs and toss them out in the cold

They reach inside and pull the strings of emotion

But nobody has control of our soul

America the beautiful is singing

America as easy as can be

We must stop trivial complaining

Cause one day our countrys’ bound to hit the skids

Go out and really count your blessings

Go visit a nursing home in town

Hang out with the homeless and the hungry

Go talk to a veteran in your town

Everybody’s got a part of our body

They take our limbs and toss them out in the cold

They reach inside and pull the strings of emotion

But nobody has control of our soul.......Nothing for nothing

The great depression was so ugly

The world wars we’re so insane

On and on so much injustice

So do you think we have it made

Yeah overall I’d say we’re lucky

Cause life ain’t perfect either way

We do the best we can with what we’ve all been handed

And if your up to it go out and make a change, make a change
