Artist/Band: Midnight Oil
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.
