LYRICS:
Getting Nowhere

It’s Friday evening and she’s dead on her feet
Being Mother and Father - She’s got a child to feed
Living lonely with no man by her side
Don’t know how she does it - keeps it all inside

Sam plays solitaire and cheats just to win
Spending all his money on cigarettes and gin
When Martha died it seems he lost his best friend
He deals another hand out - and cheats himself again

Too many people hardly getting nowhere
A common thread that binds them all
Too many people hardly making ends meet
Getting nowhere

Excuse me people but the problem is clear
Some intervention could be kind and sincere
Why must a life be something heavy to bear
I’d give it all away for someone who cares
We all have challenges that we have to face
It’s not so easy when you can’t find your place
If someone needs you it’s so hard to ignore
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or you’re poor

Father John has preached for 30 some years
All of the confessions - justify his fears
Cold and lonely - they come in from the rain
Gives another sermon - and he tries to heal their pain

Too many people hardly getting nowhere
A common thread that binds them all
Why must they always do so much for nothing?
Getting nowhere
