Nobody Gives - The Kinks[00:00:00]
Written by:Raymond Douglas Davies[00:00:00]
I can't understand why everybody's quarreling[00:00:00]
Nobody gives in case they lose face[00:00:06]
And everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent[00:00:11]
And the fact of it is nobody gives any more[00:00:17]
It's the same throughout all history[00:00:38]
Nobody gives unless they receive[00:00:47]
And nobody trusts or is willing to believe[00:00:55]
And nobody gives or is willing to concede[00:01:03]
Back in nineteen hundred and twenty five[00:01:14]
There were thousands of people struggling to survive[00:01:21]
There was hunger unemployment and poverty[00:01:29]
Then in 1926 they decided to be free[00:01:37]
So they all went on strike and[00:01:40]
The workers told the unions who blamed it on the government[00:01:43]
The politicians blamed it on the strikers and the militants[00:01:46]
Everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent[00:01:50]
But the fact of it is nobody gives any more[00:01:58]
Back in nineteen hundred and thirty nine[00:02:09]
There were scores of German military waiting in a line[00:02:17]
And the fatherland wanted what the world wouldn't give[00:02:25]
And then Hitler decided he could take what was his[00:02:32]
So they all went to war and said[00:02:36]
Kill all the left wing intellectuals[00:02:38]
Annihilate the Jews and wipe out their race[00:02:42]
Eliminate the weak because they're ineffectual[00:02:46]
And the fact of it is nobody gives any more[00:02:55]
I'm only sitting here watching it all go on[00:03:07]
And listening to both sides[00:03:16]
Yeah why can't we talk it out[00:03:18]
Why can't we sort it out[00:03:24]
We'll work it out if we try[00:03:27]
Why can't we sit down and work out a compromise[00:03:29]
Why not negotiate and try to be civilised[00:03:32]
I'll tell you why because nobody gives a damn[00:03:36]
Nobody listens and no one will understand[00:03:39]
Yet I'm wondering sitting here wondering[00:03:45]
And listening to both sides[00:03:52]
Why can't we work it out[00:03:54]
Why can't we sort it out[00:03:59]
We'll work it out if we try[00:04:02]
Why can't we sit down and work out a compromise[00:04:04]
Why not negotiate and try to be civilized[00:04:07]
I'll tell you why because nobody gives a damn[00:04:10]
Nobody listens and no one will understand[00:04:13]
Yet I'm wondering sitting here wondering[00:04:19]
Yet I'm wondering sitting here wondering[00:04:30]
Listening to both sides[00:04:39]
Nobody gives nobody gives nobody gives[00:04:43]
Nobody gives[00:04:53]
The workers told the unions who blamed it on the government[00:05:36]
The politicians blamed it on the strikers and the militants[00:05:39]
Everybody's guilty and everybody's innocent[00:05:42]
Nobody gives nobody gives a damn any more[00:05:53]
The politicians unions workers and the militants[00:05:59]
The fact of it is nobody gives any more[00:06:08]
