Sixpence None The Richer
"Meaningless"

Music & Lyrics by : Matt Slocum

history merely repeats itself 
nothing in this world is truly new 
the sea churns as it feeds from the river at its mouth 
the wind blows across the land from north to south 
the laboring man spends his life getting nowhere 

Chorus 
meaningless 
it's all meaningless 
all my life and labor is foolish 
and now I don't have a reason anymore 

come now be merry drink your drink 
devour your feast don't stop to think 
tomorrow you could be gone far away 
so gather ye rosebuds while he may 
tomorrow you could like in a silent grave 
pawing the dust and awaiting the end of time 

Bridge 
fear your God this is all I know 

Chorus 
meaningless 
it's all meaningless 
all my life and labor is foolish 
and now, I don't have a reason
