HEY MAMA, WHEN YOU LEAVE, DON?T LEAVE A THING BEHIND I DON?T WANT NOTHIN??? I DON?T NEED NOTHIN? TAKE CARE INTO THE HALL, AND IF YOU SEE MY FRIENDS TELL THEM I?M FINE??? NOT USING NOTHIN? ALMOST BURNED OUT MY EYES, THREW MY EARS DOWN TO THE FLOOR I DIDN?T SEE NOTHIN??? I DIDN?T HEAR NOTHIN? I STOOD THERE LIKE A BLOCK OF STONE KNOWIN? ALL I HAD TO KNOW AND NOTHIN? MORE??MAN, THAT?S NOTHIN? AS BROTHERS OUR TROUBLES ARE LOCKED IN EACH OTHERS ARMS AND YOU BETTER PRAY?? THEY NEVER FIND YOU YOUR BACK AIN?T STRONG ENOUGH FOR BURDENS DOUBLEFOLD. THEY?D CRUSH YOU DOWN??. DOWN INTO NOTHIN? BEING BORN IS GOING BLIND AND BUYING DOWN A THOUSAND TIMES TO ECHOES STRUNG?? ON PURE TEMPTATION SORROW AND SOLITUDE THESE ARE PRECIOUS THINGS AND THE WORDS??..THAT ARE WORTH REMEMBERIN? HEY MAMA, WHEN YOU LEAVE, DON?T LEAVE A THING BEHIND I DON?T WANT NOTHIN??? I DON?T NEED NOTHIN?
