Nothing to It - Eric Bentley

Nothing to It Lyrics

I knew that I was young enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
For I'd already seen it done enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
There was no organization I wanted to join
So I stayed by myself and took out a coin
There I sat with my eyes in my hand
Contemplating killing a man
For greed was one thing I just couldn't stand
If I was you, I'd put back what I took
A guilty man has got a guilty look
Heads I will and tails I won't
So the decision won't by my own
You have have to turn your pockets inside out
But I'm sure you can give me something
You don't have to go into your bank account
But I'm sure you can give me something

I knew that I was young enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
For I'd already seen it done enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
I knew that I was young enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
For I'd already seen it done enough
And I knew there was nothing to it
And I knew there was nothing to it
And I knew there was nothing to it
And I knew there was nothing to it
And I knew there was nothing to it
