This could have been about a lot of things but it's not So don't stop and try to look for the message The world moves and it don't ask why Your kids will burn red hot like the fourth of July I could have told about what's in between the head and the hand But you wouldn't understand You heard the story of the rise and the fall But this time I swear it's not about anything at all This ain't a song about nuthin' This ain't a song about nuthin' at all This ain't a song about about anyone or anything This could have been about so many things but it's not So don't waste time and look for the meaning You heard so many things you couldn't recall But this time I swear it's not about anything at all This ain't a song about nuthin' This ain't a song about nuthin' at all This ain't a song about about anyone or anything
