The Nigel Purcell Trio - Meaningless Lyrics

Meaningless
Meaningless
Why do the people gain from their labours
Generations come and generations go
But the earth remains for ever

My wisdom is a burden that I have
But the fool doesn't know what it is that he will do
Turn to dust we are crushed
As I stand alone
And I say not

So I see the evil of the dust sun
Then I see the gladness of heart
Animals and humans are equal but then
Animals don't knowingly act like fools do they
No way
Oh my days
Oh my days

Said the teacher
Everything is nothing
The conclusion of the matter
All is revealed
And did you know
That you've chased the wind
