Nothing Out of Nothing

Out on my own, to seek my fortune,
There's no work to occupy these young hands
So look out boy! Your heading for the mainland!

[Chorus:]

And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
Everybody needs a start
And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothing
Give my country back its heart

Now I was born on a St. John's street

Where all my hopes could meet with defeat

I hired my days to higher education
No I'm so smart I could rule this comdenation

[Chorus]

No I'm alone but I'm working everyday
I'm getting stoned and blowing all my pay
Just to survive I'll do whatever I can
No I'm alive, but I cannot be a real man

[Chorus]
