Going Nowhere Songtext
von Neil Sedaka

Considering so many folks, dissatisfied with everything
Who needs someone to understand they′re lonely?
They're lonely and they′re not alone

And everywhere they shrug their shoulders
Tell themselves that they don't care
And all the while they make believe they're happy
Oh, they′re happy, but not really

And they′re asked to hold the world together, make it happen
Give it children who in turn are turning on to going nowhere
And all the strength they'd ever need to help them, has been wasted
Remains hidden, in the confusion of going nowhere


And who am I to criticize the world that I have grown up in?
Most of you would tell me that I′m crazy
Yes, I'm crazy, I can′t help it

I understand that where you are is where you've been so many years
And things that tend to change you, tend to hurt you
Yes, they hurt you very deeply

And still you try to hold the world together, make it happen
Give it children who in turn are turning on to going nowhere
And all the strength they′d ever need to help them, has been wasted
Remains hidden in the confusion of going nowhere

Going nowhere, going, going, going nowhere
Going nowhere
