Don’t come looking for me -
you won’t find a trace.
Here there’s too many devils
for a good man to face.
No one would miss a bird of the air when it’s flown
and like that no account creature I’m already gone.
This world ain’t got nothing for me anymore now.
This world ain’t got nothing for me.
If I know what I need I don’t need anymore cause this world ain’t got nothing.
Nothing for me.
Only empty pockets -
with songs I could pay,
but there’s no end in sight
to the wars I don’t wage.
Now there’s a struggle coming I don’t want to see.
Yet I’m too old to fight it but I’m too young to grieve.
This world ain’t got nothing for me anymore now.
This world ain’t got nothing for me.
If I know what I need I don’t need anymore cause this world ain’t got nothing.
Nothing for me.
There’s a ship a’sailing away from this coast.
If you’re watchful you’ll ride it. If you’re careless you won’t.
Does anybody hear it or am I alone?
There’s a distant song playing and calling me home.
This world ain’t got nothing for me anymore now.
This world ain’t got nothing for me.
If I know what I need I don’t need anymore cause this world ain’t got nothing.
Nothing for me.
