Don't Say Nothing Lyrics

Patti Smith

Lower the thing, skin the cat Skin it left, just layin' there Lower the thing, is left like that And you set, set it, said it, said nothin'
Went to the party, very discouraged I watched the litter, pile like a wall I looked at the river, just couldn't forgive it Was, it was ladened with all kinds of shit
Still I admit that I didn't say nothing I turned my back, walked away Got to face the fact, that I didn't say nothing
Everyone was dancing, I stood over in the corner This band, aah, they were sayin' this and sayin' that an' Putting this one down an' but nothin' was delivered Nothin', nothin' good was comin', I just saw, I just stood there
I couldn't believe it but I couldn't say nothin' I walked the floor, then I looked away Got to, got to face the fact, that I didn't say nothing
How long, how long will we make do? Maybe it's time to break on through
Gonna, gonna, gonna straighten up Gonna, gonna get well, I'm gonna do something I'll give it back, gonna face the fact Gonna, gonna give it back, an' I'm gonna do something
Won't hold my tongue, won't hold the thought Won't hold the card, well, I'm gonna do something Oh my brain I got to complain Well, you can complain, but I'm gonna do something
How long, how long, will we make do? Maybe it's time to break on through
Out in the desert, oh I saw, saw that ol' cat skinned I saw it floating in the river I saw an' no one seemed to mind They sat there, they sat there watching the sun
I saw it float away, then I watched the buildings crumble Like dust in the hand an' we watched the sun Spread its wings an' fly away And in the mountains, a cry echoes
Don't say nothin' Don't say nothin' Don't say nothin' ...
