Midge Ure Answers To Nothing Lyrics

High upon a hillside, A preacher tells a story to a crowd He tells the same old story, A thousand times he's read that story loud He wants to give the answers but his words are only Answers to nothing

Lying in my bedroom, A man comes on my TV with a grin He tells me to believe him, He said that I should put my faith in him He says he has the answers, But his words are only Answers to nothing

Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time

Hear the chosen leaders say We can't stay sitting on the fence Believe the stuff they feed us, They're buying guns and bombs for our defence They think this is the answer, But their thoughts are only Answers to nothing

Where is all the friendship, How can all the comradeship be done What of all the teachings, What of things we learned when we were young It doesn't bear the asking, 'cos the answers given were Answers to nothing
Oh, oh, oh, lied for the last time Oh, oh, oh, died for the last time Oh, oh, oh, cried for the last time, this time Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time, this time

High upon a hillside, A preacher tells a story to a crowd He tells the same old story, A thousand times he's read that story loud He wants to give the answers but his words are only Answers to nothing

Lying in my bedroom, A man comes on my TV with a grin He tells me to believe him, He said that I should put my faith in him He says he has the answers, But his words are only Answers to nothing

Oh, oh, oh, lied for the last time Oh, oh, oh, cried for the last time Oh, oh, oh, died for the last time Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time, this time
