Don't Say Nothing |
| Lower the thing the skin of a cat |
| Skin it to the left just laying there |
| No other thing is luck like that |
| And you set it said it said nothing |
| Went to the party very discouraged |
| I watched the litter pile like a wall |
| I looked at the river just couldn’t forgive it |
| It was ladened with all kinds of shit |
| Still I admit that I didn’t say nothing |
| I turned my back walked away |
| Got to face the fact that I didn’t say nothing |
| Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner |
| I was listening they were saying this and saying that |
| And putting this one down but nothing was delivered |
| Nothing good was coming I just stood there |
| I couldn’t believe it but I didn’t say nothing |
| I walked the floor then I looked away |
| How long how long will we make do |
| Maybe it’s time to break on through |
| Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up |
| Gonna get well I’m gonna do something |
| Gonna face the fact gonna give it back |
| And I’m gonna do something won’t hold my tongue |
| Won’t hold the thought won’t hold the card |
| Well I’m gonna do something |
| Oh my brain I got to complain |
| You can refrain but I’m gonna do something |
| How long how long will we make do |
| Maybe it’s time to break on through |
| Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned |
| I saw it floating in the river |
| I saw and no one seemed to mind |
| They sat there they sat there watching the sun |
| I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble |
| Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun |
| Spread its wings and fly away |
| And in the mountains a cry echoes |
| Don’t say nothing |
| Don’t say nothing no |
