Nothing Was Delivered Songtext
von Bob Dylan & The Band

Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you
Not out of spite nor anger
But simply because it′s true

Now, I hope you won't object to this
Giving back all of what you owe
The fewer words you have to waste on this
The sooner you can go

Nothing is better
Nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest

Nothing was delivered
But I can′t say I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be
Yes, for telling all those lies


Now you must provide some answers
For what you sold that's not been received
And the sooner you come up with them
The sooner you can leave

Nothing is better
Nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest

Now you know, nothing was delivered
And it's up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made everybody pay

No, nothing was delivered
Yes, an′ someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then that′s how long that you'll remain

Nothing is better
Nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest
