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
