Nothing Left To Lose

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Nothing's good the news is bad

The heat goes on and it drives you mad

Scornful thoughts that fly your way

You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say


You gave the best you had to give

You only had one life to live

You fought so hard you were a slave

After all you gave there was nothing left to save


You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)

No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)


You read the book you turn the page

You change your life in a thousand ways

The dawn of reason lights your eyes

With the key you realise

To the kingdom of the wise


You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)

No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)


Nothing ventured nothing gained

No more lingering doubt remained

Nothing sacred or profane

Everything to gain

Cause you've nothing left
