why nothing works
(Scott Avery)


It¹s animal gridlock
From my place to yours
I¹m stuck in a head lock
Stuck between floors
Stuck on this planet
Of soul-slamming doors
And you say be patient

Tell me, tell me who patience serves
Tell me, tell me what the meek deserve
And tell me why nothing works...
Why nothing works

The work of the spirit
The heart in the hands
So few can hear it, so few understand
Without you to hold me
I¹d scatter like sand
And you say be patient

Tell me, tell me who patience serves
Tell me, tell me what the meek deserve
And tell me why nothing works...
Why nothing works

In the corridors of discipline
They bleach your little eyes
ŒTil compromise
Is all the beauty you can recognize
The buffet never closes
For the fakers and the flies
But I¹m still hungry

I read of my passing
Today in the Times
And under the caption
A list of my crimes
³A fortune of passion
In nickels and dimes
But he was patient²

Tell me, tell me who patience serves
Tell me, tell me what the meek deserve
And tell me why nothing works...
Why nothing works
