Midnight Oil - Nothing Lost-Nothing Gained Lyrics

In my world there are sorrows

That I'd rather drown in happiness

Come the morning When the darkness' through

That story's bound to change



And in my world and in my world

It's all the same

And nothing's ventured Nothing's changed

And nothing's lost and nothing's gained



Turn up the T.V. Make the music loud

Better to ignore the rabid dog baying at your door

Draw the blind Change the channel if you dare

Better to say I don't care



Go and jump aboard the train to freedom

It's a one-way fare

You even find that when the tunnel's through

Your ticket's vanished forgotten you



You hear the bell You know it's time to jump off

'Cause there's nothing at the platform's edge again

It's too late

It's over to you
