Nothing Matters
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

[intro]

Time keeps going by
And you are far behind
It is not that you don't try
You can't beat that other guy

He started way ahead
He was born with so much more
There is no way to catch up
Things are always like before

He had a lucky break
Right place at the right time
He was born with special skills
He was always meant to shine

He does not care about the rules
He will do what must be done
He does not care who he hurts
He believes he is the one

[chorus]
Nothing matters till it does
It all matters, just because
just because
just because


[instrumental]

Time keeps going by
And you keep falling behind
It is not that you don't try
You can't beat that other guy

There is nothing you can do
it is the way the system works
Once they get that far in front
They can have just what they want

This is not a big mistake
It is the way its meant to be
The rules were made for those who take
And not for those like you and me

We can learn to take the blows
We can accept it as our fate
Or we fight to save our lives
We can hope it's not too late

[chorus]
Nothing matters till it does
It all matters, just because
just because
just because


[instrumental]

There is nothing you can do

Once they get that far in front

This is not a big mistake

The rules were made for those who take
And not for those like you and me

We can learn to take the blows
We can accept it as our fate
Or we fight to save our lives
We can hope it's not too late

[chorus]
Nothing matters till it does
It all matters, just because
just because

Nothing matters till it does
It all matters, just because
just because

just because

just because
