Nobody Wins Lyrics

(No, no, no, no, no, no)
Nobody Wins
(No, no, no, no, no, no) Bobby!
(No, no, no, no, no, no)

We don't see the same, and we don't speak the same
But if we don't get shit right this go ’round then we ain't gon' beat the game
You can see the pain, we entertain when disagreements turn into blame
The heated words turn into flames under your skin, it just aggravates
Every nerve you got, and every working vein
gotta take a cool breath and respirate
We gon' get it right, no matter how many steps it takes (one, two)
'Cause the devil gon' lie, and Heaven don't hesitate
And Lord knows we need Heaven, ’cause we're going through Hell each and every day
These emotions bottled up inside
are hot enough to fry thermometers and lighters on my mind
A lot of us will find the answers obvious, but probably all the time
You gotta know the signs and loosen up how tight you hold your pride
Put emotions to the side and get a grip before you lose your mind

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Stop throwing those pots and pans
(Nobody wins) Watch it!
We don't have to use our hands
(No we don't) Watch it!
Baby, can you understand?
(Baby, can you understand?) Watch it!
I'm just being a man

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (Watch it!)

Gossipin', gossipin' and gossipin'
Everybody don't got your back, even if you got a lot of friends
Everybody sins, everybody sins if somebody loses, nobody wins
Sometimes you just need space, sometimes you need oxygen
Negative ain't so bad when it's negative space
If you do anything with nothing, then nothing can get in your way
I always remember when karma comes ’round, ’cause she got a similar face
You gotta know when to hold what you got and know when to give it away

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Let's talk about this
(Let's just talk about this) Watch it!
I'm glad that you missed
(Nobody wins) Watch it!
You almost tore up my face
(You almost tore up my face) Watch it!
We can't afford to buy another place

Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fight, fuss and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
When we fuss, fight and argue
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
We say we're leaving but we never do
Nobody wins (watch it!)

Nobody wins (watch it!)
(I don't care what you do)
Nobody wins (watch it!)
Might as well stay home
Nobody wins (watch it!)
Stay home, stay home, yeah
Nobody wins (no, no)
Nobody wins (no, no)
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)
Don't fool yourself (nobody wins)
Trying to fool somebody else
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody wins (no no no no no no)

Nobody Wins Song Chart

The first new music to be heard from Jodeci since their breakup in 1996 is a jam about domestic abuse. "We aren't immune to issues that are important in our community," said Jodeci's K-Ci . "Domestic violence has always been an issue in relationships, but lately it's been brought to the front of our community consciousness."

A snippet of the song was first heard on November 7, 2014, when Jodeci performed a medley of their tunes at the Soul Train Awards.

The song features guest vocals by B.o.B. "It is a really jammin' song," the rapper told Rap-Up.com . "It's a really refreshing sound. It kinda reminds me of like neo-soul meets Goodie Mob meets modern day music."

Anthem Lyrics

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free

Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in

We asked for signs
The signs were sent
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see

I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me

(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in

You can add up the parts
You won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee

(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring (ring the bells that still can ring)
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in

Anthem Song Chart

The actress Rebecca De Mornay dated Cohen in the early 1990s. She recalled to Uncut in 2014 how she ended up producing this track. "Leonard was at my house, and I had a synthesizer," she said. "He was off in a room, playing a song that I'd heard him play over and over for a couple of years, that he just wasn't sure what to do with. I went in and said, 'That's it! Exactly like that!' I think he'd moved the lyrics around, because they'd never had that effect on me before. I said, 'It's universal, I'm telling you, like "Silent Night," or "Auld Lang Syne," so why don't we bring in a gospel choir?' And he turned and looked at me very strangely. And he said, 'I want you to produce this song."

De Mornay explained what the song means to her. "To me, 'Anthem' was the pinnacle of his deep understanding of human defeat. 'I can't run no more with that lawless crowd, while the killers say their prayers out loud... And they've summoned up a thundercloud, and they're going to hear from me,'" she said. "That 'I' – that's the soul of Leonard Cohen. He doesn't suffer fools. He's deeply kind and generous-spirited, but he's not a sweet little monk."

This was prominently used on the soundtrack for Oliver Stone's 1994 film Natural Born Killers along with two other Leonard Cohen songs "Waiting for the Miracle" and "The Future."
