Nothing — The Cat Empire

Yesterday The sky looked sweet When we dropped A big bomb at our feet And sometime soon We all might zoom To space and continue With another zoo

Work and pace For paper face Spend it wisely And keep it safe Because the human race Is a non-stop race With too many trials But no real case

Something about this second Something about this hour Take away the money Then the time becomes the power A moment just to swim And to shower and to sing And to brighten and to dim And to sleep and to wander in

Nothing Oh sweet nothing Today we're doing nothing at all

Yesterday I climbed a hill Then cycle down speedy On a great big wheel Feeling ill Laboured still Grinding and stressing In that giant mill

Drove a car Stop and start Round and round in circles Never got too far Running barefoot On the hot hot tar 'cause if you stop Then you burn Then your feet get scars

Something about this instance Something about this minute Striving for the future But don't realise that we're in it A moment just to float To ponder and to dote To dry and to soak And to take a little toke of that

Nothing Oh sweet nothing Today we're doing nothing at all
