For Nothing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little girl why do you act so sad
Did mommy and daddy go away
Leave you stand on your own two feet
But you get knocked down every day
Little boy why do you act so mad
Are you out here on your own
I hear you screaming
You're never going back to that hell they call a home
It's you against the world where nobody wins
Nobody understands what they need to give
So take your sides, give up your lives
For nothing
How do you describe a broken heart in a child
How do you say you're doing fine knowing it's a lie
How do you close your eyes to no kiss goodnight, to no one by your side
Who holds your hand when you're scared and death is at your side
And it's you against the world where nobody wins
Nobody understands what they need to give
So take your sides, give up your lives
It's you against the world where nobody wins
Nobody understands what they need to give
So take your sides, give up your lives
For nothing
For nothing
