[Verse 1]
If I told you that something was wrong and you know
And you ask me what is wrong I don't know
But if something isn't something is nothing?
Well if something isn't something is it nothing?

[Verse 2]
Now I've written a thousand-and-one of these songs
But don't ask me if I've something to say
'Cause if something isn't something is it nothing?
If something isn't something is it nothing?

[Chorus]
Don't ask something benign, say something kind of kind

[Verse 3]
In a story where people will people will lie to each other
Is there really anyone to blame?
'Cause if something isn't something is it nothing?
If something isn't something is it nothing?

[Verse 4]
This life I can't do you, I got to start something
If I say that something ain't me
'Cause if something isn't something is it nothing?
If something isn't something is it nothing?
[Chorus]
Don't ask something benign, say something kind of kind
Don't ask something benign, ask something kind of kind

[Verse 1]
If I told you that something was wrong and you know
And you ask me what is wrong I don't know
But if something isn't something is nothing?
Well if something isn't something is it nothing?

[Verse 2]
Now I've written a thousand-and-one of these songs
But don't ask me if I've something to say
'Cause if something isn't something is it nothing?
If something isn't something is it nothing?

[Chorus]
Don't ask something benign, say something kind of kind
Don't ask something benign, say something kind of kind
