Lyrics for Song: Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Midnight Oil
In my world there are sorrows
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 nothings ventured, nothing's gained
And nothings lost and nothing's changed
Go and jump aboard the train of freedom
It's a one way fare
You can find out now that when the tunnels through
Your tickets vanished, forgotten you
And in my world and in my world
It's all the same
And nothings ventured, nothing's gained
And nothings lost and nothing's changed
Turn up the TV, 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
And in my world and in my world
It's all the same
And nothings ventured, nothing's gained
And nothings lost and nothing's changed
You hear the bell, you know it's time to jump off
'Cause there's nothing at the platforms edge again
It's too late, it's over to you

Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained
Midnight Oil's "Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained" stands as a potent anthem within the band's extensive catalogue of political and social commentary. Released during a period of heightened global tension, the track exemplifies the group's signature blend of hard-hitting punk energy and melodic rock sensibilities. The song serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of conflict, reflecting the Australian band's longstanding commitment to addressing urgent human rights issues. Its enduring relevance lies in its ability to cut through noise with a message of caution, urging listeners to consider the weight of their actions in a fractured world. As part of their broader body of work, the recording maintains the raw, unpolished authenticity that defined their early career while delivering a timeless critique of geopolitical instability. |
