It's not at all what you think This fantasy of mine My dreams are covered in ink And my ambition's blind I will not leave it to fate I will not compromise I cannot stay in this state This much I realize I raise my hands way up to the sky Not for nothin' Is it really worth the struggle Show me somethin' Show me somethin' Not for nothin' Why can't you leave it all behind Then show me somethin' If it's not for nothin' Divisive thoughts in my head They fill me full of doubt My voice of reason is dead It makes me wanna shout Forget the lessons I've learned Defy the innocence I'll fight, I'm taking my turn I know my will won't bend I raise my hands way up to the sky Not for nothin' Is it really worth the struggle Show me somethin' Show me somethin' Not for nothin' Why can't you leave it all behind Then show me somethin' If it's not for nothin' If it's not for nothin' I raise my hands way up to the sky Not for nothin' Is it really worth the struggle Show me somethin' Show me somethin' Not for nothin' Why can't you leave it all behind Then show me somethin' If it's not for nothin' If it's not for nothin'
