Nothing For Me

(album: It's A Condition - 1981)

You're pumping your heel against the wall, got
Sweat slipping down your neck and into your socks
Your excuses are opaque, you're never attentive
You think no one's flesh is as simple as your own

No one's flesh is as simple as your own
No one's flesh is as simple as your own

Everyone is wearing the same black pants
Just don't try to drag your fingers through my blouse
The light is a problem to extinguish
Life is a problem I relinquish

It's a problem to you
It's a problem to you

You tie a rag around my wrist; you call it sympathy
You tie a rag around your wrist; you know that's cruelty to me
That kind of shit don't settle nothing for me
It's really hard to settle anything with me

No one settles nothing for me
No one settles nothing for me

You're stuck in a closet, who do you think is on the other side of it?
Panic, we enact; fanatic, you practice it
No one settles nothing, no one settles nothing, no one settles nothing
No one settles nothing, no one settles nothing, no one settles nothing

No one settles nothing for me
No one settles nothing for me
No one settles nothing for me
Nothing for me

Dedication is the topic of the day
Dedication is what we need
Dedication is the topic of the day
Dedication is what we need

Dedication or medication
Dedication or medication is what we need
But there's nothing for me

No one settles nothing for me
No one settles nothing for me
