AL KOOPER
"The Great American Marriage"
(Kooper)

Nothing is wrong
Oh but nothing is right
Days filled with nothing
And nothing at night
We once had something
Something to share
Time came & turned us
When something was there
Now we lie side by side
Nothing to say, nothing to do
Love has become just a word
Something you've heard
But that's nothing too

We're surrounded by lies
Our friends joined by ties of family tradition
We all enter the act, a well publicized fact
No need for permission

I consider your face
Lying deep in somebody's dreams
Sleeping eyes crying
Falling apart at the seams
Nothing is wrong
Oh but nothing is right
Days filled with nothing
And nothing at night
