(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson)



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 had 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 (you've got nothing left to lose)

No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)



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 realize,

To the kingdom of the wise



Nothing ventured nothing gained

No more lingering doubt remained

Nothing sacred or profane

Everything to gain

Cause you've nothing left
