Whole Lotta Nothing

There's not a whole lotta nothing That can be dug out of the grave Of this life's buried problems Of all our past mistakes You can chisel out the tombstone Making room for all the dates Of the didn't go the way we planed That in the dirt now lay to waste Call in the Pallbearers To shoulder it all To help carry the burden Of where you left off Hire professional wailers and mourners To cry for the loss But can you really afford Such an extravagant cost When all is said and done The last word the preacher will say Is there's not a whole lotta nothing That can be dug out of the grave
