Everyday there's someone asking
what is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
is it all the same to you?
No I say I have the answer
proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you,
you would stand to gain
and I to lose.
Oh I couldn't bear it
so I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
Every morning pressure forming
all around my eyes.
Ceilings crash, the walls collapse,
broken by the lies
that your misfortune brought upon us
and I won't disguise them.
So don't ask me will I explain
I won't even begin to tell you why.
No, just because I have a name
well I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
Climb a tower of freedom,
paint your own deceiving sign.
It's not my power
to criticize or to ask you to be blind
To your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
So ask of me no answer
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
I went your way ten years ago
and I've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.

The outro to this is very Black Sabbath like....I bet these guys, back in the day, took alot of cues and licks from one another. Afterall, Tony boy had a brief tenure with Tull.

To me this was the best album ever recorded by Tull. The words meant a lot to a young kid who was on the other side of the world. Now I'm 61 with a son on the other side of the world and the words have more meaning then ever.

Ironically, Anderson's lyrics show that he did have something to say, unlike most pop feel-good Pablum.
"It's not my power to criticize
or to ask you to be blind
to your own pressing problem
and the hate you must unwind.
So ask of me no answer;
there is none that I could give
you wouldn't find.
