BOB DYLAN LYRICS - Nothing Was Delivered

"Nothing Was Delivered"



Nothing was delivered

And I tell this truth to you

Not out of spite or anger

But simply because it's true

Now, I hope you won't object to this

Giving back all what you owe

The fewer words you have to waste on this

The sooner you can go.



Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.



Nothing was delivered

But I can't say I sympathize

With what your fate is going to be

Yes, for telling all those lies

Now you must provide some answers

For what you sold has not been received

And the sooner you come up with them

The sooner you can leave.



Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.



Now you know

Nothing was delivered

And it's up to you to say

Just what you had in mind

When you made ev'rybody pay

No, nothing was delivered

Yes, 'n' someone must explain

That as long as it takes to do this

Then that's how long that you'll remain

Nothing is better, nothing is best

Take heed of this and get plenty of rest.

Open The Door, Homer



Now, there's a certain thing

That I learned from Jim

That he's always make sure I'd understand

And that is that there's a certain way

That a man must swim

If he expects to live off

Of the fat of the land

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.



Now, there's a certain thing

That I learned from my friend, Mouse

A fella who never blushes in

And that is that ev'ryone

Must always flush out his house

If he don't expect to be

Goin' 'round housing flushes

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.



"Take care of all your memories"

Said my friend, Mick

"For you can not relive them

And remember when you're out there

Tryin' to heal the sick

That you must always

First forgive them"

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

Open the door, Homer

I've heard it said before

But I ain't gonna hear it said no more.
