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   (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      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)      Nothing ventured, nothing gained   No more lingering doubt remained   Nothing sacred or profane   Everything to gain   'Cause you've nothing left
