I Got Nothin' to Say
Inspired by those times in life where the best thing to say is nothing at all
Vi: I get to work at 8 o’ clock in the morning
The boss, he rolls in at half past nine
After two cups of Joe, he calls me on the carpet
To ask me why my project’s not on time
CHORUS
I got nothing to say, I got nothing to say
Don’t want to start a riot
so I’ll just keep quiet
I got nothing to say
VII: My buddy introduces his new girlfriend
She’s a nightmare that my brother used to date
And he’s head over heels about her giggles and her squeals
He keeps asking me, “Boy, isn’t she great?”
CHORUS
I got nothing to say, I got nothing to say
Don’t wanna start a fight,
I’ll just zip it tight
I got nothing to say
VIII: My aunt Jill and uncle Bill have discovered religion
They tell me that they’ve been born again
They lecture me all day long on how I’m living my life all wrong,
And I’ll be going to hell for all my sins
CHORUS
I got nothing to say, I got nothing to say
If I open that door,
I’ll just start a war
I got nothing to say
BRIDGE
It’s times like these that I just need keep quiet
Because speaking up would only be a mistake
Put the smart-ass comments on the shelf; keep my opinions to myself
I'm really better off this way
VIV: Going out for a night on the town
Waiting for the lady to get dressed
She comes downstairs and asks that loaded question
She says, “Honey, does my butt look big in this?”
CHORUS
I got nothing to say I got nothing to say
Don’t wanna fall in that trap,
I'll just shut my yap
I got nothing to say
CHORUS
I got nothing to say, I got nothing to say
If I open that door,
I’ll just start a war,
I got nothing to say
Don’t want to start a fight,
I’ll just zip it tight,
I got nothing to say
Don’t want to start a riot,
so I’ll just keep it quiet, I got nothing to say
