I Want Nothing Songtext
von Gab De La Vega

I want nothing
I just want nothing for myself
I′ve got all i need and I won't pretend that I need anything else

It all fits in my pockets
Just like the sand that fills my hand
If any grains slip away I′ll let them go for who comes next

You've got all you need and yet nothing makes much sense
You've got nothing but it doesn′t really matter
And the moral here is quite easy to understand
But you don′t care, you don't care either way

Tell me you′re happy
With all the fine things that you own
'Cause if you′re not it means you're
Looking at the wrong side of the coin


Have you ever gone to sleep hungry?
Has this world ever made you angry?
Have you ever cried for someone and not for something you once had?

You′ve got all you need and yet nothing makes much sense
You've got nothing but it doesn't really matter
And the moral here is quite easy to understand
But you don′t care, you don′t care either way

What's most valuable in life
It ain′t something you can buy
Here's the key to being complete:
Always hungry for what matters
Never craving those things that don′t...

...matter at all – they won't
Give you anything more

But maybe you forgot
Just look at what you′ve got

An empty shell covered in gold
Is still full of nothing at all


Owned by the things you own
The things you own, you own
