When I was a child and I could not sleep
My mother or father came, started to sing
And ever since then, whatever I do
There is a song written about it too
I heard songs about trivial things
And there are songs about diamond rings
Songs about money payed off too
There are no limits if you play right tune
This song I sing now
Has nothing to say
It's just a tune I love to hear
It's pure sheer pleasure
You can't replace
A song that has nothing to say
Heritage from holy men of the church
Is sacred music written at their urge
Kings and dictators kept thousands of bards
In vain attempts to resemble God
They sent people to private wars
The hymn of the nation was farewell song
And about those that couldn't come back
Chopin's music told us they were dead
This song I sing now
Has nothing to say
It's just a tune I love to hear
It's pure sheer pleasure
You can't replace
A song that has nothing to say
I heard lots of songs about love
And about longing for a human touch
Some were sung by men in despair
Others were sung by women in pain
I heard a song about being sacked
Hitting the road the alternative left
If even that can be theme for a song
Then why not about nothing at all?
This song I sing now
Has nothing to say
It's just a tune I love to hear
It's pure sheer pleasure
You can't replace
A song that has nothing to say
