nothing left to lose

nothing's good the news is bad

the heat goes on and it drives you mad

scornful thoughts that fly your way

you should turn away 'cause there's nothing more to say

you gave the best you had to give

you only have one life to live

you fought so hard you were a slave

after all you gave there was nothing left to save

you've got nothing left to lose

no you've got nothing left to lose

you read the book you turn the page

you change your life in a thousand ways

the dawn of reason lights your eyes

with the key you realise

to the kingdom of the wise

you've got nothing left to lose

no you've got nothing left to lose

nothing ventured nothing gained

no more lingering doubt remained

nothing sacred or profane

everything to gain

cause you've nothing left
