Nothing Matters - The Rocket Summer

Back and forth, I have come to this

So listen if you are interested in it

I hope you’re not too busy to miss

This epiphany I just had

And I know it’s not too sexy

That I’m singing about the blessings we get

If we give up ourselves for something good…

It would be bigger than a promotion

Motion, motion, motion…

Because nothing matters

Just tell yourself again and again and again

Nothing matters but what we offer in love

Just today, my boss came to me and said

«No way.

No way, we don’t hear money, money, money.»

I got so mad

I walked out the studio and there was a man

Crying and hungry, down and out, yeah, true story, uh huh

And I know it’s not too sexy

That I’m singing about the blessings we get

If we give up ourselves for something good…

It would be bigger than a promotion

So start the motion, start the motion, start the motion

That nothing matters

Just tell yourself again and again and again

Nothing matters

All of our wealth.

Again and again and again

Nothing matters, pride will shatter

Our wants will never be enough because nothing matters

So I’ll surrender to you love

And oh, how the war wages on

The battle of my heart

Face to face the truth and what I want

And all that I’ve discovered is…

Nothing matters

Just tell yourself again and again and again

Nothing matters

All of our wealth.

Again and again and again

Nothing matters, pride will shatter

Our wants will never be enough

Because nothing matters but love

The things I chase, the status I crave

It’s nothing — it’s nothing

We invest with the banker

But not in the maker

Think about it

And I am the culprit, I am no saint

How long will I stand here obstructing loves way…
