THE TRAGICALLY HIP
"Great Soul"
(Rob Baker / Gordon Edgar Downie / Johnny Fay / Paul Langlois / Gord Sinclair)

[Chorus:]
Nothing works
Oh, and nothing works
I've tried nothing, and I'm out of ideas

Nothing works
Oh, and nothing works
I tried nothing, and I'm out of ideas

I thought
I was clear
I forgot
To hear

Oh, great soul
From the India of my dreams
It follows
If I'm disappointing no one, I'm disappointing everyone

And I know life depends on scenes like this
That drove and drive us on
But if God walks with persons
Does he run, run, run, run, run?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I want you to enchant my days
Onward, daily, forward, away
So what's today's answer, then?
Nothing? Eternity? Nothing?

And then? What then?
To resist? To resist?
To resist?
To resist

[Chorus:]
Nothing works
Oh, and nothing works
I've tried nothing, and I'm out of ideas
