Thanx for Nothin’ Lyrics by Overkill

Horrorscope

1991

[Verse 1]
Sick and tired of the same ol' shit
Fighting battles I just can't win
How can you tell me what it is you want
When you don't even know yourself?
Live your life one death at a time
See the road, I can't read signs
All the wrongs just can't be right
Hear my bark before you feel my bite

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could only see
What you wanted us to see
If you could only be
What you wanted us to be
I ain't fallin' for the tricks
The schemes, the same old lies
When it's over, cry for sympathy
Don't ask why

[Chorus]
Thanks for nothin'
I said, "Nothin'"
Next time, better think
Before you speak

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Had enough, I can take no more
I'm baggin' it, I'm out the door
How can you say you know what I mean
As you're pissin' all over my life?
Time is precious, time is mine
Waitin' here, that'd just be fine
Bless my soul, time has come
Tide had turned, see Dick run

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could only be
What you wanted us to be
If you could only see
What you wanted us to see
I'm not fallin' for the tricks
The schemes, the same old lies
When it's over, cry for sympathy
Don't ask why

[Chorus]
Thanks for nothin'
And you're gonna be nothin'
Next time, better think
Before you speak

[Bridge 1]
You never think before you speak
Sometime, think before you speak

[Bridge 2]
I've been watching you
Barely stand to look you
In the face
All tolerance, not popularity
There is someone here
To take your place

[Bridge 3]
Why don't you think before you speak?
You never think before you speak

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could only see
What you wanted us to see
If you could only be
What you wanted us to be
I ain't falling for the tricks
The schemes, the same old lies
When it's over, cry for sympathy
Don't ask why

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
If you could only see
What you wanted us to see
If you could only be
What you wanted us to be
I'm not falling for the tricks
The schemes, the same old lies
When it's over, cry for sympathy
Don't ask why

[Chorus]
Thanx for nothin'
Thanx for nothin'
Next time, better think
Before you

[Outro]
Hit the road
