Don't Say Nothing
Patti Smith

Lower the thing the skin of a cat

Skin it to the left just laying there

No other thing is luck like that

And you set it said it said nothing


Went to the party very discouraged

I watched the litter pile like a wall

I looked at the river just couldn't forgive it

It was ladened with all kinds of shit

Still I admit that I didn't say nothing

I turned my back walked away

Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing


Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner

I was listening they were saying this and saying that

And putting this one down but nothing was delivered

Nothing good was coming I just stood there

I couldn't believe it but I didn't say nothing

I walked the floor then I looked away


Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing


How long how long will we make do

Maybe it's time to break on through

Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up

Gonna get well I'm gonna do something

Gonna face the fact gonna give it back

And I'm gonna do something won't hold my tongue

Won't hold the thought won't hold the card

Well I'm gonna do something

Oh my brain I got to complain

You can refrain but I'm gonna do something

How long how long will we make do

Maybe it's time to break on through


Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned

I saw it floating in the river

I saw and no one seemed to mind

They sat there they sat there watching the sun

I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble

Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun

Spread it's wings and fly away

And in the mountains a cry echoes

Don't say nothing

Don't say nothing no

Don't say nothing no
