Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hush for a moment, do not make a sound Lots of action here, but nothing's going down Some guy on TV with his sharp Italian suit Is telling lies to you and swearing they're the truth His lips are moving, but he's not making sense Takes all his effort to keep balanced on the fence [Chorus] He'll say nothing Thanks for nothing Him and his promises mean nothing That's what he's selling you, nothing [Verse 2] Give him an issue, he'll find his way around it By scrambling his syntax and hoping to confound it Nothing's what he ventured and nothing's what we gained You think that you've heard everything, then nothing strikes again Ask him a question, try to get somе facts He'll just blow smoke at you and turn to the attack And say [Chorus] Nothing Thanks for nothing Him and his promisеs mean nothing That's what he's selling you, nothing [Verse 3] Lately I've noticed lots of nothing going 'round Press releases, advertising, reporters on the ground All sound and fury, you know how the saying goes Signifying nothing, but the poser and his pose Hey, take a look, there's nothing up his sleeve Even less between his ears and still we all believe [Chorus] He says nothing Thanks for nothing Him and his promises mean nothing That's what he's selling you, nothing Thanks for nothing Him and his promises mean nothing That's what he's selling you, nothing Oh, nothing [Instrumental Outro]
