Nothin' More To Lose
The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks
Get out of that house,
Stop watching t.v.
Have you heard the news,
Well there's a new world here,
And it's staring straight at you,
Don't want no politics,
Religion too.
They've got nothing left to prove,
Well my heart's beatin' rhythm,
And my soul keeps singin' the blues,
I know we can make it happen,
Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now it's all up to you.
Chorus
We got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
We're so proud of our intellect,
Arrogant selfish fools
Who can look no further than,
A bunch of separative rules.
Well if we're all so clever and technology
Rules,
Why is it we're so scared.
I got a rockin' psychosis,
And my juke box blown a fuse.
Don't look there's someone watching,
Though they're many light years away.
Don't stop,
They may be listening to every single word
You say.
Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Can you feel something strange in your
Heart,
In your brain,
But it's not what you think.
You're just waking out of sleep.
Chorus
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
I know we can make it happen,
Anytime we want it to,
I know we can make it happen,
Now it's all up to you.
Chorus
You got nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose,
Nothing more to lose.
Can you feel something strange in your
Heart,
In your brain,
Nothing more to lose.

Nothin' More To Lose
Released by The Kinks in 1966, "Nothin' More To Lose" stands as a quintessential example of the band's mid-1960s pop-rock sound. The track features the group's characteristic blend of catchy melodies and relatable lyrics, capturing the restless energy of the era. While often associated with their broader catalog of youth-oriented anthems, the song showcases Ray Davies' ability to craft accessible pop music that resonated deeply with listeners. It remains a staple of The Kinks' discography, reflecting their transition from skiffle roots to polished studio production during their peak commercial success.
