Great Big Sea - Nothing Out Of Nothing Lyrics
I left my home, my family by the oceanOut on my own, to seek my fortuneThere's no work to occupy these young handsSo look out boy! Your heading for the mainland!CHORUS:And what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothingEverybody needs a startAnd what do you do? Can't make nothing out of nothingGive my country back its heartNow I was born on a St. John's streetWhere all my hopes could meet with defeatI hired my days to higher educationNo I'm so smart I could rule this comdenationCHORUSNo I'm alone but I'm working everydayI'm getting stoned and blowing all my payJust to survive I'll do whatever I canNo I'm alive, but I cannot be a real manCHORUS
