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
