Nothing

Yesterday the sky looked sweet
When we dropped a big bomb at our feet
And sometime soon we all might zoom
To space and continue with another zoo
Work and pace for paper face
Spend it wisely and keep it safe
Because the human race is a non-stop race
With too many trials, but no real case
Something about this second
Something about this hour
Take away the money
Then the time becomes the power
A moment just to swim
And to shower and to sing
And to brighten and to dim
And to sleep and to wander in
Nothing
Oh sweet nothing
Today we’re doing nothing at all
La la la la la
Yesterday I climbed a hill
Then cycle down speedy on a great big wheel
Feeling ill, labored still
Grinding and stressing in that giant mill
Drove a car, stop and start
Round and 'round in circles never got too far
Running barefoot on the hot, hot tar
Cause if you stop, then you burn, then your feet get scars
Something about this instance
Something about this minute
Striving for the future
But don’t realize that we’re in it
A moment just to float
To ponder and to dote
To dry and to soak
And to take a little toke of that
