Bob Dylan & The Band
Nothing Was Delivered (Take 2)
[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 don't object to this
But you must give back what you owe
The fewer words you have to waste about this
The sooner you can go

[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take heed of this, get plenty rest

[Verse 3]
Nothing was delivered
But I can't say that I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be
For telling all those lies

[Verse 4]
Now you must provide some answers
For what you sell has not been received
(Yes you must, you must do that, you must get those answers)
The sooner you come up with those answers
The sooner you can leave
[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take heed of this, get plenty rest

[Verse 4]
Nothing was delivered
It's up to you to say
Yes, it's up to you to say ev'rybody's piece of mind
So you best begin right now to behave

[Verse 5]
Never say again that nothing was delivered
Someone, it must be explained
That as long as it takes to do this
As long as it takes to do this
That's how long that you will remain

[Chorus]
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take heed of this, get plenty rest

(Take 3)
