Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rack 'em up, Jim, it's your break Set 'em up Max, it's my shout You know, I really could go a round or three You wouldn't believe the crap I've had to deal with this week And I'm shovelling most of it for free "Grace under pressure", that's what the old man said Well, the old man said a lot of things in his time Well, fighting a bull's one thing, fighting bullshit's another You know, around here the bullshit just never seems to die [Chorus] I just want nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) [Verse 2] Christ, hell! It's warming up in here Listen to that guitar player, will ya? Do you think anyone could tell him to turn down? Where'd Jim go? Sorry, I didn't catch your name It's impossible to hear a word above that sound I'm a little thirsty, I'm running out of money Hey, I'm a legend, not a star And I'll talk to anyone, yes I will Just as long as I can keep ripping the scab Off those cold little vicious ones As they keep coming right across the bar [Chorus] I just want nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) [Verse 3] There was a man on the radio today Talking about the young people Said we should listen to the young people Said they're a victim of conspiracy The young people, Jesus! What's that supposed to mean? I never did one damn good thing 'til I was over thirty I'm gonna get up in the morning, chug-a-lug a coffee Gonna get on my bike and ride away Find me a beach with a nice little break And I'm gonna catch wave after wave after wave [Chorus] Until there's nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Just want nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) Nothing on my mind (Nothing on my mind) [Outro] Yeah, oh-oh The young people Whoever brought me here's gonna have to take me home The young people, ha What? What's that? What's that? What's that say? Huh?
