Nothing left to do

we invented a whole country

we had to fudge the numbers, that's true

we were fighters, we were winners

we were always coming through

we had glory, we had blessings

fields of green and mighty oceans blue

we had harvests and such splendor

now, there's nothing left to do

(chorus)

nothing left to do 

nothing left to do

nothing left for me 

nothing left for you

nothing begets nothing

and that ain't hardly something

nothing, with nothing left to do

we killed natives, we killed soldiers

we burned the forests with our flames

we built a country out of wonder

we never had much time to ponder blame

we built cities full of glory

our country strong, it grew and grew and grew

we barely paused to wonder

now, there's nothing left to do

(repeat chorus)

now, the past is getting anxious

now, a reckoning is near

our stories can no longer

save us from the ravages of fear

now, the boatman wants a dollar

better pay it up, there's more coming through

better go off to greener pastures

now, there's nothing left to do

(repeat chorus)
