Do Nothing Lyrics by The Specials

Singles

1980

[Verse 1]
Each day I walk along this lonely street
Trying to find, find a future
New pair of shoes are on my feet
Cause fashion is my only culture

[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh, no
Nothing ever change

[Verse 2]
People say to me just be yourself
It makes no sense to follow fashion
How could I be anybody else?
I don't try, I've got no reason

[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh, no
Nothing ever change

[Bridge]
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing

[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh, no
Nothing ever change

[Verse 3]
I walk along this same old lonely street
Still trying to find, find a reason
Policeman comes and smacks me in the teeth
I don't complain, it's not my function

[Chorus]
Nothing ever change, oh, no
Nothing ever change

[Outro]
They're just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
They're just playing in a life without thinking
They talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I walk and walk, I'm dreaming
I'm just living in a life without feeling
I talk and talk, say nothing
I'm just living in a life without meaning
I walk and walk, do nothing
