Them That Do Nothing
Finding Purpose Amidst Life's Illusions
Lyrics
Well once we were concerned
Initially, we were interested or cared about something
The we grew up to be bored
As time passed, we grew disinterested and apathetic
What once resembled rules
What used to be similar to guidelines or principles
Sure enough turned into jokes
Gradually turned into something not taken seriously, transformed into humorous or unserious things
We tried to stand for nothing
We attempted to support or represent nothing of significance
Now there's nothing to stand for
Now there's no meaningful cause to support or stand for
What started as a game
What initially began as enjoyable turned into a tedious task
Became a chore before too long
Became a burden or a routine before too long
I don't mean to sound tight
Not intending to sound stringent or inflexible
But I see it's hard to fake
It's difficult to pretend or deceive
So rather this than talk
Instead of talking about it, take action
Get your keys and get to work
Prepare to work and be productive
'Cause them that do nothing make no mistakes
People who do nothing don't make mistakes
Where once we asked for lessons
We used to seek knowledge or guidance
Now it's all to be ignored
Now, we choose to disregard or overlook it all
How do we trust the speaker
How can we trust someone who speaks when their duty is just to speak?
When his calling is to call?
I don't mean to sound tight
-But I see it's hard to take
-So rather this than talk
-Get your keys and get to work
-'Cause them that do nothing make no mistakes
-Well once we all were told
Previously, we were instructed or advised
And we took it all as truth
We accepted it all as absolute truth
If we worked hard and behaved
If we put in effort and behaved well
We'd be anything we'd choose
We could become anything we desired
And we used to all be happy
Once, we were content while pretending not to be
While pretending that we weren't
Now, the happiness we show on our faces hides the pain and dissatisfaction
Now the smiles upon our faces
Show how much it all must hurt
-I don't mean to sound tight
Not intending to sound strict or inflexible
But I see it's hard to fake
It's challenging to feign or pretend
So rather this than talk
Prefer action over talk
Get your keys and get to work
Engage in work and productivity
'Cause them that do nothing
People who do nothing avoid making errors
