Lyrics

No thanks, no blame, no response from above
No handshake, no hug, no profound love
No laughter, no silence, no dolorous tears
No speaking, no listening or denying your fears

No drama, no heartache, no vigor, no hope
No swinging from gallows at the end of a rope
No worries, no patience, no time today
No running, no stopping, no Judgement Day

No friends, no family, no girlfriend or wife
No reasonable escape from a miserable life
No mercy, no justice, no cause to believe
No closeness, no distance, no goals to achieve

No trouble, no hurry, no choosing a door
No logic, no reason, no returning for more
No comfort, no relief, no rolling the stone
No wonder, no delight, no wish I had known

But, this is the next year
It might be long, it might be hard
This is the next year
Don't let it catch you off-guard
Swiftly the coursing sands
Take everything out of your hands
But, this is the next year

No right, no left, no high and no low
No telling how long before it all blow
No rain, no reprieve from the blazing sun
No truth, no lying, meant for no one

No lifting, no bending, no standing around
No stealing a heart and pretending it's found
No tears, no joy, no difference, no way
No path to glory, no further delay

No separation, no church and no state
No blaming the weak & spreading the hate
No drastic measures, no right or wrong
No significant meaning to the words of this song

But, this is the next year
It might be long, it might be hard
This is the next year
Don't let it catch you off-guard
Swiftly the coursing sands
Take everything out of your hands
But, this is the next year, this is the next year
