One day you're up and the next day you're down
You can't face the world, point your head to the ground
Things going wrong make you feel quite insane
But don't worry boy, life will be sweet one day

We made enough mistakes
But you know we've got what it takes
We ain't got nothin', we ain't got nothin' yet
We ain't got nothin' yet

One day you're up and the next day you're down
You can't face the world, point your head to the ground
Things going wrong make you feel quite insane
But don't worry boy, life will be sweet one day

We made enough mistakes
But you know we've got what it takes
We ain't got nothin', we ain't got nothin' yet
We ain't got nothin' yet

We made enough mistakes, ah
But you know we've got what it takes
We ain't got nothin', we ain't got nothin' yet
We ain't got nothin' yet

We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet

Released by Status Quo in 1977, "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet" stands as a defining track of the band's hard rock era. The song showcases the group's signature blend of driving rhythms, melodic guitar work, and Frank Zappa's distinctive vocal delivery, which became a hallmark of their sound during the mid-to-late 1970s. While often associated with the band's extensive discography from that period, the recording captures the raw energy and theatrical flair that characterized Status Quo's live performances and studio output. It remains a staple of their catalog, reflecting the band's ability to craft anthemic rock songs that resonated with audiences across the UK and internationally. The track exemplifies the genre's evolution during the transition from pure hard rock to a more polished, yet still gritty, rock style that defined the decade.
