bad religion – i give you nothing (tom clement…) lyrics

hey, everybody’s looking but they never can see,
all the angst, corruption and the dishonesty.
think about the times and places you’ve never known,
you’re a man-swarm atom and yet you’re alone,
so i give you me, i give you nothing!
i give you me, i give you nothing!
so you got a place that you can call all your own,
but you make a habit of carrying the stone.
look around and ask someone if you are alive,
you’re a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive,
so i give you me, i give you nothing!
i give you me, i give you nothing!
respectable, despicable, it seems all the same.
now we realize that we have nothing to say.
if your reserve is weak, audacity complete.
ask yourself again, “do i deserve much from them?” no!
hey, everybody’s looking but they never can see,
all the angst, corruption and the dishonesty.
look around and ask someone if you are alive,
you’re a sidewalk cipher speaking prionic jive,
so i give you me, i give you nothing!
i said i give you me, i give you nothing!
