I'm Nothing (PASTE) Songtext
von Violent Femmes

Unfortunately (yeah), the viewers on Facebook didn′t see all the axed, and
Trepidation that went into our song selection process
They'll be able, they′d get some feel for it
We've just uh, talked about some songs, went over some songs
And now we're gonna play other songs
They were really good, but now we already did ′em, uh (the song flunked the audition)
No, no, no, it passed (now we′re bringing reinforcements)
Well, we re-, we remember that, uh, there's a song we′ve been just, uh
Revive for ourselves, just playing, uh, because of this, uh, election time
So here it goes, it's a little bit of spelling

I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I′m nothing

I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I'm nothing


Are you a Republican or a Democrat?
A liberal fascist full of crap?
I′m nothin', I'm nothin′

Somebody somewhere saying it′s somethin'
But then everybody everywhere saying I′m nothin'

Politics and dirty tricks, I got no time for stones and sticks
Politics and dirty tricks, I got no time, I′m chasing chicks
I'm nothin′, I'm nothin'

Somebody somewhere saying it′s something
But then everybody everywhere tell me I′m nothing

I'm nothing, but I′m not proud
'Cause being nothin′, it's not allowed
Are you a gay or are you straight?
Do you believe in love, or do you believe in hate?
I′m nothin', I'm nothin′

Somebody somewhere saying he′s something
But then everybody everywhere saying I'm nothing

I′m nothing, I'm like a cloud
I′m free to be alone in a crowd
What's your reality? It′s not real to me
What's your anomaly? It is my destiny


I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I am N-O-T-H-I-N
I'm nothin′, I′m nothin', I′m nothin'

I′m nothing now and I'll be nothing when
This nothin′ world has its nothing end
