Nothin' to do except nothin' at all
The same ol' climb up the same ol' walls
I've fallen down before

You see I've been down, I've been so depressed
I've been overworked and overstressed
But deep down here I know I'm blessed
I ain't gonna cry no more

No I ain't gonna cry, I ain't gonna scream
I ain't gonna let 'em kick no holes in my dreams
I won't be fallin' apart at the seams
Like I've always done before

You know I've used my fist and I've used my voice
Hell I've used myself like a cheap Rolls Royce
I never knew I could just use my choice
I ain't gonna cry no more, ain't gonna cry

You see people talk behind peoples' backs
They scheme and plot an' plan attacks
But someday soon we'll be switching tracks
In a way the world can't ignore

So call all your buddies, call all your friends
Call all your enemies, make amends
We're formin' a club and lettin' everyone in
We ain't gonna cry no more

I said I ain't gonna cry, no, I ain't gonna cry
I don't wanna cry anymore
So we're formin' a club and lettin' everyone in
We ain't gonna cry no more

Nothin' to do except nothin' at all
The same ol' climb up the same ol' walls
