Lyrics
Nothing To It
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.
Well I knew I was young enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
'Cause I'd already seen it done enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
There was no organization I wanted to join
So I stayed by myself and took out a coin
There I sat with my eyes in my hand
Just contemplating killing a man
(For greed was one thing I just couldn't stand)
If I was you I'd put back what I took
A guilty man's got a guilty look
Heads I will and tails I won't
As long as the call be won't be my own
Well you don't have to turn your pockets inside out
But I'm sure you can give me something
Well you don't have to go into your bank account
But I'm sure you can give me something
Well I knew I was young enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
'Cause I'd already seen it done enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
