Them That Do Nothing

Well once we were concerned

Then we grew up to be bored

What once resembled rules

Sure enough turned into jokes

We tried to stand for nothing

Now there's nothing to stand for

What started as a game

Became a chore before too long

I don't mean to sound tight

But I see it's hard to fake

So rather this than talk

Get your keys and get to work

'Cause them that do nothing make no mistakes

Where once we asked for lessons

Now it's all to be ignored

How do we trust the speaker

When his callin' is to call

I don't mean to sound tight

But I see it's hard to take

So rather this than talk

Get your keys and get to work

'Cause them that do nothing make no mistakes

Well once we all were told

And we took it all as truth

If we worked hard and behaved

We'd be anything we'd choose

And we used to all be happy

While pretending that we weren't

Now the smiles upon our faces

Show how much it all must hurt

I don't mean to sound tight

But I see it's hard to fake

So rather this than talk

Get your keys and get to work

'Cause them that do nothing
