Bob Dylan & The Band
Nothing Was Delivered (Take 1)
[Verse 1]
Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you
Not out of spite or anger
But simply because it's true
[Verse 2]
Now, I hope you won't object to this
Giving back all of what you owe
The fewer words you have to waste on this
The sooner you can go
[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of yourself and get plenty rest
[Verse 3]
Nothing was delivered
But I can't say I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be
Yes, for telling all those lies
[Verse 4]
Now you must provide some answers
For what you sold has not been recеived
And the sooner you comе up with them
The sooner you can leave
[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty rest
[Verse 4]
Now you know, nothing was delivered
And it's up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made ev'rybody pay
[Verse 5]
No, nothing was delivered
Yes, 'n' someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then that's how long that you'll remain
[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of yourself, get plenty rest
