Nobody's Ever Going Anywhere
Composer(s): Jeff Barry
Performer(s): Andy Kim; Jeff Barry



Oh the figures escalate
At an ever-growing rate
On the money that they burn to try to reach a star
Would be better if they try
To hang a mirror in the sky
So we could all look up and see how dumb we really are

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

Oh you just can't beat the plan
That was laid down by the man
It's all written in the book they keep in motel rooms
Oh I know you need a break
But you had your one mistake
And you made it on the day you left your mother's womb

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

If you don't like where it's at
I'm afraid that that is that
Cause it should be clear by now that no one's getting off
When you're born you start to grow
Live for eighty years or so
'less of course you die of gunshot wounds or smoker's cough

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

Well if I'm depressing you
It's depressing for me too
'Cause we're running out of time and love and subway seats
Though it may not be your style
You had better learn to smile
'Cause it's time to turn the mattress and to change the sheets.

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how

And nobody's ever going anywhere
Anyway
No-how... (repeat and fade)
