Nothing Lost - Nothing Gained Lyrics - Midnight Oil

In my world there are sorrows 

I'd rather drown in happiness 

Come the morning when the darkness through 

That story's bound to change 

And in my world and in my world 

It's all the same 

And nothings ventured, nothing's gained 

And nothings lost and nothing's changed 

Go and jump aboard the train of freedom 

It's a one way fare 

You can find out now that when the tunnels through 

Your tickets vanished, forgotten you 

And in my world and in my world 

It's all the same 

And nothings ventured, nothing's gained 

And nothings lost and nothing's changed 

Turn up the TV, make the music loud 

Better to ignore the rabid dog baying at your door 

Draw the blind, change the channel if you dare 

Better to say, I don't care 

And in my world and in my world 

It's all the same 

And nothings ventured, nothing's gained 

And nothings lost and nothing's changed 

You hear the bell, you know it's time to jump off 

'Cause there's nothing at the platforms edge again 

It's too late, it's over to you
