Quest for Nothing Songtext
von Voivod

In this race another day
You′ve been driven all your life
There is no exit to get off
Always running for something
Since your birth the chase is on
You're searching for a hideout

Where′s that place called liberty?
When will I be satisfied?
What's this inhumanity?
How freedom became a lie

Feels like being thrown in orbit
Endless comeback to the start
You are only passing by
It is a quest for nothing
Always a new beginning
Until you find out it's not

I want anti-gravity!


Busy day, overnight
Run-down until you lie dead!
The next day, overtime
Until you pass out brain dead!

I don′t question
The no reasons
I am an ant
I don′t refute
Just execute
I am an ant

Get stressed out, as you crawl
Carry the weight till you're knocked dead!
Stumble, fall, now endure
Under pressure till you′re crushed dead!

In all and all
I am so small
A grain of sand
I am an ant

Vacation, settle down
Your face hits the ground, flat dead!
Have no fun, so worn out
Let's get back to work, still dead!


In all and all
I am so small
A grain of sand
I am an ant

This one life is the only one I have
This whole life, I wouldn′t give it away

Never want to go
Never want to go
Ever, no way
Never want to go
Never want to go
But I will someday

Endlessly I wish I could live for
Eternity, I'll never die ′cause I

Never want to go
Never want to go
Ever, no way
