Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say

You gave the best you had to give
You only have one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave
After all you gave there was nothing left to save

You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd want to be standing in your shoes)

You read the book, you turn the page
You change your life in a thousand ways
The dawn of reason lights your eyes
With the key you realize
To the kingdom of the wise

You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd want to be standing in your shoes)

Nothing ventured nothing gained
No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause you've nothing left

The missing middle stanza: You read the book you turn the page You change your life in a thousand ways The dawn of reason lights your eyes With the key you realise To the kingdom of the wise Ok, this song is off of one of the most tangibly conceptual APP albums - Turn of a Friendly Card. In short, it's an album about gambling - something Eric Woolfson (the main songwriter) detests. The only thing left to this gambler at this point is the relief of knowing the ultimate outcome of his gaming habit. He's lost everything, but in doing so he's realized the error of his ways and that he truly has 'everything to gain'.

From this point on there can only be good things... provided you don't give up.
